Klim Type Foundry
What's notable: Kris Sowersby's New Zealand foundry — the people behind Söhne, Tiempos, Untitled Sans, National, and many others. The site itself is a typography exhibition: long-form essays about each typeface's design history, in-browser specimens at sizes and weights you can manipulate, and licensing tiers explained transparently. Editorial-style reading layout with the typefaces themselves as the primary visual.
Why this matters as a reference: the textbook example of how a type foundry should present its work — and reference for what à-la-carte commercial typefaces (Söhne, Tiempos) cost when we eventually consider buying one.
