Author's note

Oski West by Chris Harvey is a free quirky sans serif with a sharp, offbeat rhythm. The letters mix a clean round O with a very tall, spiky k and a steep, angular W, giving the font a slightly homemade modernist feel that is more characterful than neutral.

That makes it a good fit for indie poster work, music flyers, zine covers, title cards, and short branding where a plain free font would feel too restrained. Use it for brief headlines, logotypes, or monogram-like initials - the uneven energy in the letters gives short words a lively pull without leaning into novelty gimmicks.
