Usurp is a cut-rubber freak-out with . . . with . . . what were we talking about? Okay, yeah! It’s got letters, man. Lots of freaky letters that are all like whoa and rainbows trails shooting out and what have you. The OpenType format features autoligs which automatically swap common letter pairs with variations to create a more realistic, less repetitive effect. Usurp is based on Garamond letterforms if you think about it.
