Founders Grotesk is a utilitarian sans-serif typeface but also quite vigorous. Kris Sowersby designed this type for a New Zealand-based type foundry, Klim Type Foundry. It was released in 2010, and its concept is drawn from the 19th and early 20th century grotesque. Its blend of historic influence combined with that “now” style gives it its many uses. The font is pretty popular with the global design community in printing and the web medium, thanks to its sturdy, neutral look.
Encompassed with its design, one of the critical defining features of Founders Grotesk lies: its versatility. Designed with style linking across an expansive range of weights, containing those of light to black, the typeface is bestowed with perfectly balanced matching italics. The designer receives a complete toolbox pass for execute different typographic hierarchies. Its various styles adapt it to many uses. That it will go very well with headlines and branding, to use in reading texts and user interfaces.
Its consistent letterforms and balanced proportions allow it to be readable and fit well into most environments.

Founders Grotesk has a tremendous amount of character and personality. Not to be abrupt and skillful, nor classically simple to the point of grotesqueness, great minor quirks, and flairs were purposefully added to give the identity of a unique and recognizable type.
These details, including slightly tapered strokes and many specific letter shapes, give the type a warmer, more approachable feel compared to more austere sans-serifs—traits that have made Founders Grotesk a favorite for projects needing both clarity and character.
