On the back of 40 years of designing bespoke typefaces for global brands, international creative agency Kontrapunkt introduces their first retail font collection.

The international studio is launching Kontrapunkt Type, their first-ever retail type foundry, offering the public access to the typeface expertise previously only offered through bespoke commissions. For four decades, the studio has created custom typefaces and wordmarks with brands including LEGO, noma, Carlsberg, Shiseido, Chamberlain Coffee, Mitsubishi, Nissan and ASICS Tiger building type systems that work across cultures and industries, each designed for a specific voice and need.

For Kontrapunkt, this step isn’t just a product release. It’s an amplification of their craft: offering foundational typefaces designed for everyone.

The first collection: Three foundational typeface families

Kontrapunkt Type launches with three typeface families: KP Duo Sans, KP Duo Serif, and KP Spatial.

KP Duo Sans and KP Duo Serif are designed to work seamlessly together, same proportions, same metrics, different genres. KP Duo Sans is a contemporary grotesque with a subtle warmth and digital clarity. KP Duo Serif is a transitional serif born for screens, not inkbleed: crisp, high-contrast, made for how we communicate today.

KP Spatial is a geometric sans with circular warmth and triangular sharpness. Beautiful to look at, but readable at any size. Geometry rebuilt for modern use.

Duo Sans: 1 family, 12 styles
Duo Serif: 2 families (Display and Text), 24 styles total
Spatial: 1 family, 14 styles
All fonts are available in woff2, otf, and ttf formats.

Decades of refining letterforms across cultures and systems taught Kontrapunkt what they would want in their own toolkit. What they would reach for first. These are foundational typefaces built with contemporary clarity and Scandinavian warmth.
