KLIM is a type and graphic design studio run by Wellington, NZ-based designer Kris Sowersby, now affiliated with Village : http://vllg.com/.
His creations: http://www.klim.co.nz/
Feijoa (2007, a serif family for text, Village).
National (2007, a sans serif family, Village). This type family won an award at TDC2 2008. Duncan Forbes: National is slightly mannered, which becomes more apparent in the heavier weights yet it still remains simple, subtle and serious. [...] It has a human charm that gives such warmth and learned beauty to text.
FF Meta Serif (2007, Serif counterpart of FF Meta, with Erik Spiekermann and Christian Schwartz).
Galaxie Copernicus (2009) is a large x-height serif family done at Village in cooperation with Chester Jenkins. It was inspired (from very far) by Plantin's types.
Founders Grotesk (2010). Roughly based on Miller&Richard Grotesque (No. 4, No. 7, No. 3), from a 1912 Miller&Richard specimen book. The proportions are just right---I will place my bets on this one for several best of 2010 award lists.
Metric (2011). A sans family with hints of art deco in the heavier weights. It is paired with Calibre (2011). Sowersby writes: Metric&Calibre are a pair of typefaces that share a fundamental geometry yet differ in the finish of key letterforms. Metric is a geometric humanist, sired by West Berlin street signs. Calibre is a geometric neo-grotesque, inspired by the rationality of Aldo Novarese's seldom seen Recta. They were conceived as a pair but function independently of each other. In a clever twist, Metric offers vertical stroke endings and Calibre horizontal ones in a selected number of glyphs.
Tiempos Text and Tiempos Headline (2010). Named for Times New Roman, this type has influences from the egyptian Galaxie Copernicus, which is based on Plantin, as well as from Times New Roman.
FF Unit Slab (2007, with Erik Spiekermann and Christian Schwartz).
Newzald (2007), an economical text serif based on rough lettering found in New Zealand. Review of Newzald at Typographica.
Pitch (2011). A typerwriter face.
Hardys (2008), an elegant serif face custom designed for Australia's Constellation Wines. Hardys won an award at TDC2 2009. Hardys reviewed at Typographica.
Serrano (2008): a sans family designed for the Bank of New Zealand. It will be available for licensing starting in October 2013. In addition, it won an award at TDC2 2009.
Eliza (2003).
NZ Rugby Chisel (2006, The All Blacks Typeface).
Hokotohu (2007, a typeface for the Moriori).
Victoria Sans and Serif (2007, custom typefaces for Victoria University).
Methven Flow.
Rewards (2006). A serif family designed with Chester Jenkins for American Express.
The blackletter pixel font Pixel Fraktur (2002).
The pixel script font Nobody came to class (2003).
Pixel uncial (2003).
Luca Titling (2003, an ancient roman titling face based on inscriptions from 1590).
Mono, Mono Pre (2003).
Kilbernie Sans (2003), Kilbirnie Serif (2004).
Klim Sans (2004).
A Slabb (2004, a slab serif), Slabb (nice slab version of Klim Sans).
Karv (2005, alternative for Trajan), Karv Sans.
National Condensed and National Compressed (2007).
Aperture (2007), a sans for small sizes.
Valencia (2007), a warm didone.
Salamanca (2005).
Sevilo (2005).
Zinc (2005).
Elegantia (2005, based on Polyphilus).
Karbon, Karbon Serif (2006: raves from the typophiles!).
