Publisher: Rui AbreuOrbe is a typographic interpretation of the Lombardic majuscules. For its charm and decorativeness, Lombardic capitals were the selected type for versals in mediaeval manuscripts. These versals were an amalgamation of roman capitals and uncials.
In Orbe some majuscules look like easier roman capitals, while others are more ornamental shapes. This mixture permits for the structure of words, something normally difficult to do with more conventional Lombardic majuscules. Orbe is available in OpenType and features a full CE supported character set, ornaments and ligatures.
Orbe got a "Certificate of Typographic Excellence" from the TDC in 2009, was among Typographica's favourite typefaces of 2008; was chosen for the Typography Yearly 1 of Communication Arts; was chosen for the German Style Award 2010; was a winning entrie of Atypi Letter.2.
