Panik / Kalm Type family

Panik / Kalm is a type family for editorial design, inspired by the art of punchcutting. The idea stems from an exploration of how the techniques and approaches used in punchcutting can be used as an experimental tool to create new lettershapes. A process of carving punches in soap, coding, sketching and calligraphy has brought the idea of drawing upright letters with back-slanted counters. The whole design processhas been a rollercoaster of states of panic and calmness, hence the name.
