Poltik specimen from TypeTogether

A two-toned family by Patrycja Walczak pairing a reverse-contrast Display cut with a text series spanning five weights, available as variable fonts.

About

Poltik splits its personality across two subfamilies: a high-impact Display cut built on reverse contrast, where horizontals outweigh verticals, and a text family running from Light to Extrabold with matching italics. Both are available as variable fonts, offering continuous weight variation across their respective ranges. OpenType features include alternate glyphs, oldstyle and tabular figures, standard ligatures, circled numbers and icons.

Classification

Poltik is a display family built around reverse contrast, horizontal strokes heavier than verticals, giving it a distinct, unconventional weight distribution. The family pairs a headline-oriented Display cut with a more conventional text series, making it a hybrid expressive family.
