Klim Type Foundry

Klim Type Foundry (Klim) was founded by Kris Sowersby in 2005 and is based in Te Whanganui-a-Tara/Wellington, Aotearoa/New Zealand.

Our foundational ethos is “a thing well made”. Our typefaces combine historical knowledge with rigorous contemporary craft. We believe the alphabet is a concept made concrete through written and designed letterforms — the alphabet is not defined by a single typeface but expressed through all of them.

Our retail catalogue features fonts suitable for a complete range of use, from small and functional to large and decorative. They can be licensed for use across physical and digital applications. Our in use section showcases the many, varied examples of our fonts used by international brands, institutions and businesses of all sizes.
