About Pumped Up Kicks
Pumped Up Kicks is a bold uppercase display font with uneven letterforms and an irregular baseline. It was designed for large type on posters, packaging, branding and merchandise.
Repeated letters are usually what give a digital font away. Pumped Up Kicks includes at least four versions of every A–Z character, with up to eight versions of some letters. The main alphabet sits on the uppercase keys; the lowercase keys hold another set of uppercase characters.
Stylistic Alternates
Use the lowercase keys for the first set of alternates. You’ll find the remaining versions in the Glyphs panel in software that supports OpenType. Swap them as you work to stop repeated letters looking identical.
Ligatures
Pumped Up Kicks includes 45 ligatures for letter pairs such as LO and RA. Type in uppercase and supported software can replace them automatically.
Alternates and ligatures are available through the Glyphs or OpenType panel in your design application.
What It’s For
Use Pumped Up Kicks for posters, packaging, logos, signage, flyers, social graphics and merchandise. It works best at display sizes where the uneven baseline and alternate characters can be seen properly.
Don’t use it for body copy. Use it big.

If you're still having trouble, please refer to this helpful guide for PC and this guide for Mac.
What font software do I need to use this font?
Once a font is installed on your computer, it becomes compatible with any software that allows text creation. You can seamlessly use these fonts in popular applications such as Microsoft Office, Adobe software, and virtually any program equipped with a text editor.
Please note: OpenType SVG fonts, also known as color fonts, require specific software versions, including Photoshop CC 18.0+, Illustrator CC 22.0.0+, or InDesign CC 13.0.1+. If you're interested in installing colour fonts, my colour Font guide provides more information.
What file formats are included with the font?
Every font is .OTF for desktop but variable font may add additional .TTF.
Do you offer updates for the font, and are they free?
Yes. Bug fixes and updates to the font you purchased are free. Major expansions, such as new weights or styles, may be released separately.
What kind of license does the font come with?
Desktop, App, Electronic document and Digital Add—learn more about my licenses. For other uses please contact me for a quote.
How can I access the stylistic alternatives, ligatures, and other OpenType features?
Open the Glyphs or OpenType panel in your design software. In Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, select your text and choose Window → Type → Glyphs to view and insert alternative characters. Ligatures and stylistic sets can be enabled through the OpenType panel. In Affinity apps, use the Typography panel. OpenType support varies between applications, so some features may not be available in simpler design programs.
Can I use this font for a logo or branding?
Yes. The Desktop Licence covers creating logos, brand identities, packaging and other static designs. You may supply finished or outlined artwork to a client, but you cannot pass on the font files. Anyone who needs to install or work with the font must have their own licence.
The font remains non-exclusive, so other customers may also use it. If you need something unique to your brand, contact me about a modified or fully custom typeface.
What is your refund policy for font purchases?
Because fonts are digital products, purchases are generally non-refundable once the files have been downloaded. If a file is faulty, you accidentally purchased the same font twice or you need help with installation, please contact me and I’ll help resolve the issue.
Where can I get support if I have a problem with the font?
If you have any problems with the font, please contact me through the website and I’ll be happy to help. Include the font name, your order number, the software and operating system you are using, and a screenshot if possible. This will help me identify the problem more quickly.
Are there any known issues or limitations with this font?
If the font is an OpenType SVG bitmap it preserves detailed textures, transparency and natural variations that ordinary vector fonts cannot. However, they are not supported by every application and may not work correctly in older software, Canva, Microsoft Office or some web-based design tools.
Because the letters contain high-resolution bitmap artwork, they cannot be enlarged indefinitely without eventually showing pixelation. Recolouring and converting text to outlines may also be limited. For the best results, use a recent version of Photoshop, Illustrator or InDesign and create your artwork close to its final output size.
