Klim

http://klim.co.nz/

Kris Sowersby graduated from the Wanganui School of Design in 2003. After brief employment as a graphic designer he started the Klim Type Foundry in 2005, currently based in Wellington, New Zealand.

Klim's first retail typeface, Feijoa, was released in 2007. National, Sowersby's second retail release, won a Certificate of Excellence from the Type Directors Club (TDC), New York in 2008. Since then he has worked on various custom and retail typefaces including FF Meta Serif, the seriffed sibling of the renowned FF Meta. Sowersby's reputation for typeface design has lead to his working with, and for, contemporary typographic luminaries such as Christian Schwartz, Erik Spiekermann, Chester Jenkins, House Industries, DNA Design and Pentagram.

Sowersby's typefaces combine historical knowledge with contemporary craftmanship & finish. The Klim Type Foundry markets its typefaces exclusively through Village.
