Orientation Font Family

Typefaces are commonly used for applications beyond the typical screen and printed page, but it is less common that a typeface begins its life intended for a different medium. Orientation, a stencil typeface designed by Sandrine Nugue, was originally commissioned by Paris-based designer Thanh Phong Lê with the simple brief of creating a geometric typeface that could be fabricated as stencils for the wayfinding system of a new student housing building in Roubaix, France.
