Orian is a family of serif fonts suitable for both the typesetting of materials intended for immersive reading and for typesetting headlines. With their slightly condensed proportions and high contrast, the fonts are well suited for use in newspaper headlines—online or in print—as well as in other areas of editorial design. At its lightest and heaviest weights, Orian is also useful for branding, packaging, and logo design. Let’s get down to specifics: the stroke contrast in Orian’s letterforms is diagonal. In several lowercase letters, strokes end in teardrop terminals that have been made more dynamic through the “breaking” of one of the curves. The x-height of Orian’s lowercase letters is high, and the tops of the ascenders rise higher than the height of the capital letters and numerals, which helps text set in Orian retain more readable word images.
