在蘇門答臘北部，多巴湖清澈見底的海水輕輕地拍打著周圍的山脈。Samosir島坐落在湖中，數百年來，它是巴塔克人與世隔絕的傢園。
遊客們乘坐輪渡到達Tuk Tuk小鎮，逃避瞭蘇門答臘叢林的高溫和潮濕。在整個村子裡，餐廳和招待所都裝飾著色彩鮮艷的手繪招牌。也許由於蘇門答臘島在歐洲殖民的悠久歷史，這些字母形狀讓人聯想起19世紀末在美國和歐洲用於海報和傳單中的字母，但帶有明顯的東南亞風格。
Charles Nix被維多利亞時代的幻想和巴塔克的蔓藤花紋的結合所吸引，他將這些字母進行拍照、繪制並將其轉換一種設計，即現在的ITC Batak。它以Samosir居民引以為豪的祖先的名字命名，這是一個帶有六角形襯線的細窄的粗體字母——一種適當裝扮的怪誕風格。
Batak有Condensed和Condensed Bold兩種字重。
In Northern Sumatra, the crystal clear waters of Lake Toba lap gently against the surrounding mountains. In the middle of the lake sits the island of Samosir, for centuries the secluded home of the Batak people.
Visitors arrive by ferry into the tiny town of Tuk Tuk, escaping the heat and humidity of the Sumatran jungle. Throughout the village, restaurants and guest houses are adorned with hand-painted signs in bright colors. Perhaps due to Sumatra’s long history of European colonization, the letterforms are reminiscent of those used for posters and handbills in America and Europe at the end of the 19th century, but with a distinctly Southeast Asian flavor.
Charles Nix, intrigued by the combination of Victorian fancy and Batak arabesque, photographed, sketched and translated the letterforms into a design that is now ITC Batak. Named for the proud ancestors of Samosir’s inhabitants, it is a bold condensed letter with hexagonal serifs – a sort of properly dressed grotesque.
Batak is available in either Condensed or Condensed Bold.
