An Honest Review

What I Love

✅ Readability: Extinction is incredibly easy to read, even at smaller font sizes, making it perfect for body text or captions.
✅ Versatility: This font is chameleon-like, adapting seamlessly to various design contexts, from busy backgrounds to standalone headlines.

Small Quirks or Limitations

While Extinction is an excellent font, it’s not without its quirks. ⚠️ Some users may find that the font’s casual nature makes it less suitable for very formal or corporate designs. Additionally, the font’s simplicity can make it less attention-grabbing when used as a standalone headline without sufficient styling.

For example, I once used Extinction for a client’s luxury brand campaign, and while it worked well for the packaging, it didn’t quite fit the tone for their high-end website. 🤔 It’s essential to consider the font’s personality and your design goals before making a final decision.
