In the specimen the strokes are soft at their ends and slightly uneven in thickness, the V and W stand on curved diagonals, and the numerals are old-style, with 3, 4, 5, 7 and 9 dropping below the baseline while 6 and 8 rise above the small capitals. According to the official description, the starting idea for Overlock was to imitate the overlock sewing technique, which accounts for the rounded shapes, and the family is aimed at headings and brief passages in magazine-like layouts at larger sizes. Overlock SC holds the small capitals as a separate single-weight family with 246 glyphs.
