Kontour Type publishes high quality original typefaces for professional use designed by the foundry’s owner Sibylle Hagmann. Her special interest lies in typography and its microcosm of individual letterforms and glyph systems.

Most type design projects are developed independently of commissions and sometimes find their way into client driven collaborations. The typeface family Odile was released in 2006 and awarded the Swiss Federal Design Award in the same year.
