Overbold is an unapologetic display typeface inspired by an illustration in Eric Gill’s Essay on Typography (p.51), in which he demonstrates «how not to make letters». In particular, he shows that increasing the weight of the downstroke in a serif «A» without structural adjustments yields an absurd, «overbold» result. I found the letter so charming that I decided to blatantly disregard Gill’s wisdom and draw an entire overbold typeface. Here is the result. I’m not sorry.

Overbold comes with extensive glyph coverage in Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic. Check out the Greek — it’s probably the best part of the typeface! Furthermore, stylistic set SS01 offers an alternate ampersand, SS02 comprises infant letterforms, and SS03 grants merciful alternatives for the three strangest overbold capitals. The infant forms are also available as a spin-off font for convenience.

Have fun with Overbold! I certainly did.

I am grateful to the helpful souls on the TypeDrawers and Typographie.info forums for encouragement and constructive feedback, and to the Glyphs team for their fantastic type editor. Overbold is dedicated to my son Marius.

Download Now Server 1 Download Now Server 2 Download Now Server 3 Designed by Francesco Canovaro with help from Andrea Tartarelli and Maria Chiara Fantini, Kitsch is a typeface happily living at the crossroads between classical latin and medieval gothic letterforms. But, rather than referencing historical models like the italian Rotunda or the french Bastarda scripts, Kitsch tries to renew both its inspirations, finding a contemporary vibe in the dynamic texture of the calligraphic broad-nib pen applied to the proportions of the classical roman skeleton. The resulting high contrast and spiky details make Kitsch excel in display uses, while a fine-tuned text version manages to keep at small sizes the dynamic exp...
