About the Overdrive Avenue font

Overdrive Avenue Sans is an 80s style font. It has a regular and an outline version, with uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and punctuation.

Hotliner Script is a handwritten script with three versions: regular, second and third. It includes uppercase letters, numbers and punctuation. Mix the two styles and a bold word gets a looser, more personal accent.

The look draws on motorcycle culture and rock and roll from the 1980s and 1990s. The letters have a retro feel that adds edge to a design without much extra work.

The sans works well for a main title. The script suits a smaller line, such as a date, a name or a short tagline. Pair the two and the eye knows what to read first, without the need for a third font.

Key features

• Color font: The font is a color OpenType font, so one glyph can show more than one color. Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop 2018 or later can work with this format.
