Kris Sowersby, typographer




Kris Sowersby is a typographer based in New Zealand. I stumbled across his Feijoa typeface in Nick Felton's 2007 annual report. KLIMis an independent type foundry run by Kris, in conjunction with a few other well known type designers. He has only released a select few typefaces for public purchase. National is another outstanding face (based on pre-akzidenz grotesks--precursors to Helvetica). National, Feijoa, and his other commercial typefaces can be purchased at village. (Feijoa does have some problems with its kerning pairs, in large display sizes some letter spacing appears generous.)
