Note about the future of this project

This is the last release where this typeface is developed in FontForge. While it's a fine piece of software, I find it very hard to work with. From this release, I will continue development using FontLab. I'll still include .sfd source files if possible.

Moreover, there will be less glyphs in Overused Grotesk. The absurd amount of glyphs for features like IPA made me extremely demotivated, since I was not prepared to make progress with that much work. This release is for anyone who still wants to use these features, but keep in mind that these will not be supported in the future.

Warning

Any releases before version 1.0 may have massive changes to side bearings, vertical or horizontal metrics, and character widths. If you use this typeface for a website, expect a slight change in the web layout.
