## What it is
Overpass is an open source web font family inspired by Highway Gothic, sponsored by Red Hat and available on Google Fonts. It includes eight weights, true italics, and a monospaced variant (Overpass Mono), built via GitHub Actions with FontBakery QA tests.

## Use cases
- find an open source sans-serif web font for a website
- self-host a Red Hat-style font family
- get a monospaced font for code editors and terminals
- use a Highway Gothic-inspired typeface in a design project
- embed an OFL-licensed font in an open source project

## When to choose
- you need a free, permissively licensed (OFL/LGPL) web font
- you want a clean sans-serif with many weights plus a matching monospace
- you want a font sponsored by Red Hat and available on Google Fonts

## When to avoid
- you need a serif or display typeface
- you need a font with extensive non-Latin script support

- maturity: stable
- function: developer-tools
- domain: web-design, cross-platform
