K-Type is a small, independent type foundry based in Manchester England, offering a unique range of high quality fonts which are modestly and simply priced for small commercial users and large organizations. K-Type is the foundry of designer and mail artist Keith Bates, and many K-Type fonts are directly or indirectly influenced by observation and research into influential artists and designers. The resulting faces are reliable and eminently usable, and often imbued with a playful wit and the genuine affection of honorable homage.
