Potk

Beating anything with a Potk (it means sledgehammer) leads to changing forms, and doing so, with a meaningful purpose could turn things into unique forms.

It doesn’t matter what is being beaten by the Potk, the volume of the beats and the way it hammers is what matters. Hot metals, mine stones, cement blocks, and even letter’s forms can be changed.

Let’s imagine what letters would look like if a Potk strikes their bodies.

What if it applies a large force on the letters?

What would their physical appearance look like?

Some changes, like missing the white spaces and the counters, uneven thicknesses, accidental breaks of the strokes, changing of the sizes, diminishing rounded parts and the strokes, are what come out of this. Potk typeface is designed and optimized based on these changes and hammerings.
