ATC Overlook, Reimagined

ATC Overlook Baker is an illustrated style for the ATC Overlook family. It is a direct result of our collaboration with graphic artist and illustrator Samantha Dion Baker via the ATC Artist Series. Overlook is a clean, versatile font with modern sensibilities and a dash of character. Overlook Baker expands on the ATC Overlook Heavy weight, adding an illustrative flourish to the typeface’s unique, yet classic letterforms.

From Samantha:

When Avondale Type Co. approached me to be a part of their Artist’s Series, I had created about 10 different small pattern alphabets. I wasn’t sure what I would do with them, but there was always the thought to make them into working typefaces. Avondale sent me their fonts and I fell in love with Rosemary and Overlook. Overlook, I noticed, right away, has a “heavy” option, and after finishing my larger pieces for their series, I was inspired to go back to the small alphabets and use Overlook Heavy as a starting point. ATC Overlook Baker is a culmination of all of the pattern-work I found to be most successful in the earlier alphabet experiments. I am thrilled that ATC helped to make this happen! To be able to key in my letters, right on the keyboard, is such a fun experience for me!
