Klim launched a completely redesigned website to put the designer at the heart of the type browsing, buying and learning experience. An integral part of the redesign is Söhne, a collection of new typefaces described as “the memory of Akzidenz-Grotesk framed through the reality of Helvetica”. The redesign better showcases the breadth of Klim’s work in type design, but also the foundry’s gallery exhibitions and typeface identity work – the collaborations, publications, goods, colours, photography, animations and videos that have been employed to take type to wider audiences.
