Overpass

Overpass is a sans-serif digital typeface based on the American road sign typeface Highway Gothic, intended for use as a webfont on digital screens for user interfaces and websites. It was designed by Delve Withrington with [Dave Bailey, Thomas Jockin, Alan Dague-Greene, and Aaron Bell between 2011 and 2021. It has 9 weights and obliques. Overpass was commissioned by Red Hat for use in user interfaces. At that time, the commercial typeface Interstate was Red Hat's corporate typeface, but its lack of availability as a web font and the time it took to generate new images with each new update of their software were the motivators to commission Overpass. Overpass was initially developed for Red Hat by Delve Withrington in 2011 and had only two weights (regular and bold) with hinting for the TrueType format fonts performed by Jason Campbell.
