Heavy Heap

Heavy Heap takes the high-octane curves of late-1960s lettering and gives them a full tune-up for today’s designers. Born from the spirit of Hot Wheels packaging and custom car show posters, its flickering serifs and flame-like curves inject instant motion into your words—whether they’re tearing down a drag strip or lighting up a festival stage.

Unlike most retro display faces, Heavy Heap isn’t locked into one loud voice. Its family runs from Extra-Light to Heavy, letting you choose between a breezy, groovy headline or a full-throttle typographic roar. Those lighter weights bring a boutique, playful feel, while the heavier end leans into raw horsepower and heat. Think beyond the garage. Heavy Heap’s compact proportions make it perfect for dense, eye-catching headlines on concert posters, toy and game packaging, sports graphics, hot sauce labels, or event branding. The strokes carry a sense of energy and warmth, so your designs feel alive—like they’re about to roll right off the page.

It’s a style that never stalls out. The Hot Wheels and kustom kulture influence is as evergreen as the toy aisle and as relevant as today’s streetwear, connecting instantly with audiences across generations. And with a character set built for modern workflows, Heavy Heap isn’t just retro style—it’s a versatile, hard-working display family that’s ready for your next big project.
