Klim Type Foundry treats typography as structure rather than style. Founded by Kris Sowersby in Wellington, New Zealand, the studio is grounded in a simple idea — “a thing well made.”

Their typefaces draw from historical models but are resolved through contemporary use. The focus is not on novelty, but refinement, proportion, spacing, and performance across real-world systems. Families like National and Founders Grotesk have become foundational, used where clarity and longevity matter.

Klim’s strength sits in restraint. The work carries tone without imposing it, balancing authorship with neutrality. Beyond retail fonts, their custom type for clients like The Financial Times and PayPal extends this thinking into full brand infrastructure.

What defines Klim is consistency of approach. A disciplined, system-driven practice that prioritizes durability over expression, typography designed to hold up over time.
