About the Orbitron font
Orbitron is a geometric sans-serif typeface intended for display use. Its designer drew it so graphic designers would have a free alternative to the classic science fiction typefaces Eurostile and Bank Gothic, which is why Orbitron looks at home in space games, sci-fi posters and tech logos. It was added to Google Fonts in 2010 and is released under the SIL Open Font License, so the Orbitron font is free for personal and commercial use. According to Fonts In Use, Cyberpunk 2077 uses Orbitron as a secondary font for small decorative text.
Orbitron Bold and Orbitron Black
Orbitron comes as a variable font with a weight range from 400 (Regular) to 900 (Black). Orbitron Bold is weight 700 and Orbitron Black is 900, the heaviest version. The zip on this page includes the variable file and a static folder with Regular, Medium, SemiBold, Bold, ExtraBold and Black as separate fonts. The Orbitron Black font and the other static Orbitron fonts are separate files, so install them if your app only shows one Orbitron style, which happens in older versions of Word and some cutting software.
