Pretty Neat Fonts, part 3: Hocus

Hocus is a condensed sans-serif display font that comes in a single weight, with no bells and whistles.

Still, like many display fonts, it accomplishes what it set out to do with flying colors; that is to say, if you want dramatic, you’ll get it out of this font easily.

OK, I’ll go on a tangent and then return to the font itself: a buncha assholes on Behance are complaining that they can’t download the font. Here are some select quotes

Nice font but it looks like you don't want ANYONE else to use it.

and

Nice font, but there is still no download link anywhere :(

Hey, dickwads, if you wanted it so much, why couldn’t you be bothered to do a search on Google, you little entitled babies?

Moving on.

Here are three designs I did really quick using Hocus and an Unsplash photo. You’ll notice that Hocus works great when combined with photos of a certain mood

You can get Hocus HERE.

PS. Looks like I was wrong. There’s more than one weight of Hocus showcased on Behance, while the version I could find online only has one weight available, hence my ‘only one weight’ claim in the first paragraph. Moreover, maybe it’s the rest of the weights that the people on Behance were asking for. Bad Antonis. I’ll be more careful in the future.
