PRINCIPLE TYPEFACE:
Signifier
Söhne
CONCEPT:
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 new site is Söhne, a collection of typefaces described as “the memory of Akzidenz-Grotesk framed through the reality of Helvetica.” The reimagined site is an ambitious marriage of speed, functionality, and elegance. Springload structured the site around responsive and variable layouts based on classic Swiss design principles embedded in CSS grids. Type specimen generation is randomized, based on a set of defined rules for how type should be displayed.
