Orbit is a close follower of Village, which was shown by Photo-Lettering in 1968 – initially as Psychedelitype 5788 – and is credited to Ed Benguiat. Orbit appears in a 1970 catalog by Lettergraphics, without credits, and is distinguished by unflared letterforms and an R with vertical leg, among other small differences.

Here we get to see Orbit in use for American Pie. The second studio album by singer-songwriter Don McLean was released by United Artists Records in October 1971.
