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.
