About R H Horne Orion Font Family


Edgar Allan Poe, in his review of "Orion," says of R H Horne ;

"for a man of high, of the highest genius, he unquestionably is"

(Graham's Magazine, March 1844, pp. 136-141 )

The typeface is very elegant.

Each character printed is different,-- this mechanism produces the authentic feel. For example one "e" is different to another "e". When typing, the letters appear to permutate slightly before becoming fixed.

Edgar Allan Poe published many of his great works in the Southern Literary Messenger (c. 1834 - 1864) and was, for a time, the Editor. Household Words (c. 1850 - 1859) was created and edited by Charles Dickens. "Hard Times," was first serialised in the journal. Dickens was a friend of R H Horne and they coauthored some pieces together. "Orion" is a prose poem by R H Horne, published in 1843. It was sold for one farthing, and became a best seller.Edgar Allan Poe, in his review of "Orion," says of R H Horne ;"for a man of high, of the highest genius, he unquestionably is"(Graham's Magazine, March 1844, pp. 136-141 ) The original 1982 Blade Runner screen play (by Hampton Fancher & David Peoples) typeface was produced by a now defunct, obsolete (and unknown) electronic or non-electronic typewriter circa 1980s.
