From a dumb mockery of the overutilised "Swiss" type design to a semi-serious workhorse, Overused Grotesk turns itself into a copycat by imitating the most distinguishing features of the ubiquitous Helvetica. However, the typeface doesn't stop at purely being a copycat; it wants to be a multipurpose and multilingual, though quirky and nonserious one.
The fonts are free & open-source, and any contributions would be greatly appreciated. If you are planning to show this typeface to someone or submit it to a font collection, please remember to link my GitHub repository, or at least this page. It's not mandatory, but it saves a lot of headaches (trust me).
Disclaimer: This is a work in progress. Even if the fonts and sources are public, the typeface is, as of now, under development. Please be careful if you plan to use this typeface on a large scale.
