Klim Type Foundry Rar: Why You Should Choose the Fonts from the Award-Winning Type Foundry



While attentive to history, Epicene is not a revival typeface. It is an experiment in modernising Baroque letterforms without muzzling their ornamental idiosyncrasy nor falling into the trap of gender codifications.

Reported by Typography.Guru, the new system fonts were licensed from type foundries including Commercial Type, Klim Type Foundry and Mark Simonson Studio. To view and install the optional fonts, follow these steps.


In the spring of 2016, we set out to expand the weight spectrum of the original Ogg typeface. Given the complexities of the italic, with its extreme 24 italic angle, correctly adding weight could only be accomplished by using our existing calligraphic model to determine the maximum possible pen nib width to x-height ratio.


In late 2017, we began the first prototypes of Ogg Text. Adapting the strange and irreverent Ogg (display) original into something useful for long-form reading was no small task. While its intricate details, interconnected letterforms, 24 italic angle, and swash italic capitals would prove to be difficult attributes to translate into text, there were many moments in the roman that were well suited to this adaptation. We also wanted to capture the beautiful hierarchy he achieved with his book jacket designs, where extravagant, high-contrast display titles would give way to beautifully legible sub-headers and captions.


Adapting the italic from the original display to text was a much more daunting task. The 24 italic angle of the display original was first brought to a more manageable 18, still a remarkably steep angle for a text typeface. After many months of wrestling with the 18 italic design, (pictured below) we eventually scrapped it in favor of a new Italic design.


The new Ogg superfamily is a bold type system that finds cohesion in wildly different forms and genres. The family tracks the progression of its designer, from his early days exploring the irreverent imperfectionism of the original display, to the unexpected functionality and studied execution of the text. The superfamily is an amalgam of disparate references and ideation, both an inventive homage to one of the great underappreciated lettering artists of the twentieth century, and a new take on calligraphic text typography.
