About
Octic draws directly from historical sources — the Octic New Specimen Book and the VGC Antique Type Collection — reconstructed as a variable-width typeface spanning regular and extended proportions. The character set is uppercase only, with ligatures and Western European dialect support. Its two width axes (100 and 200) make it adaptable across display contexts without stylistic compromise.
Classification
An uppercase-only display revival drawn from historical specimen sources, offered in regular and extended widths. Its origins in antique type collections place it firmly in decorative display territory.
