Introducing Pumped Up Kicks A modern typeface full of energy and fun.
Bold, playful, and bursting with personality, Pumped Up Kicks is a sans-serif display font that exudes energy and liveliness. Perfect for designs that demand attention, this font combines creativity with functionality to deliver a truly unique aesthetic.
Distinct charm
The large, crisp characters are complemented by delightfully uneven lines, giving the typeface a distinct charm. Its unconventional style ensures it stands out, with some letters dipping below the baseline while others rise just above it. This subtle irregularity adds a playful, handcrafted touch to any project.
All uppercase font
Designed exclusively with capital letters, Pumped Up Kicks is an all-uppercase font. To enhance versatility, it includes alternate uppercase glyphs for the lowercase characters, allowing for creative variations and added visual interest.
Whether you’re looking to inject energy into branding, posters, or social media graphics, Pumped Up Kicks promises to deliver bold impact and a fresh, spirited vibe.
Stylistic Alternatives
Pumped Up Kicks features alternate glyphs for A–Z, ensuring your typography is anything but ordinary. For example, if a word contains two letter A’s, you can switch one out for an alternate version to create a more dynamic and unique look.
Most letters come with at least three stylistic variations, while some offer as many as seven, giving you a wide range of options to customize your designs.
Ligatures
This typeface also includes a variety of ligatures, allowing specific letter combinations to automatically transform into unique, custom designs (e.g., “LO” or “RA”). Keep in mind, ligatures will only activate when you type in uppercase.
These ligatures add a handcrafted feel to your design, helping you create something truly special that captures attention and stands out.
To access these stylistic alternates and ligatures, simply enable OpenType features in your preferred design software.

About Simon Stratford
Hello, that’s me or itsmesimon, aka Simon Stratford. I design everything from custom typefaces for advertising agencies to ready-to-buy fonts for designers (like you) to the occasional digital oil painting for TV and print.
I’ve spent over 20 years in the design industry, from teaching photoshop, web design, movie promotion, and branding agencies to digital marketing—I think I’ve done most jobs. I got tired of the rat race and the daily commute in London. So I stopped doing things I didn’t what to do—and started doing things I did want to do—more creative things.
So if you want to be part of my tribe, follow me on
