What is Overline Font?
Overline font adds a Unicode overline mark above each character, creating a rare top-bar effect that stands out from more common underline styles. It keeps the base letters visible, so the text remains recognizable while gaining a slightly technical, retro, or sci-fi tone.
Unusual, top-weighted, and slightly futuristic. Overline feels less common than Underline or Bold, which makes it good for users who want something subtle but still distinctive in headings, labels, and short bios.
Best for short sci-fi labels, unusual headings, and compact profile accents where the top-line effect is part of the visual identity.
