. . .
As part of collective typoactivism, a group of creative people designed several dozen original versions of the lightning bolt—a symbol of feminist protests and determination. This diverse collection of pictograms and illustrations, after appropriate processing, made up a practical tool—the PIORUNY font (‘pioruny’ means ‘lightning bolts’ in English). This tool shows not only the infinite amounts of creativity among designers, but also the need for collective action at a time when fundamental human rights are threatened. Over eighty different lightning bolts can be found on the keyboard under upper and lower case letters, numbers, question mark (?), exclamation point (!) and asterisk (*). This font (included in the ‘Dingbats’ category) is available for free, and the ‘letters’ contained in it are ready to be used in any creative way. So—print it, stick it, duplicate it and thunder with our lightning bolts. Let's hope that here comes the sun!
