No — Signifier isn’t listed as a free font. Klim Type Foundry releases it, so licence options and pricing sit on their site.
Signifier is a serif typeface from Klim Type Foundry.
Start with Klim Type Foundry’s other releases — Tiempos, Martina Plantijn, Family, and Untitled Serif. They come from the same studio that drew Signifier, and A1 has 21 websites using them.
Signifier is a Brutalist response to 17th century typefaces. Designed by Kris Sowersby, Signifier’s digital immateriality draws on a deeply material past. Acknowledging the processes and tools of digital form-making, Sowersby worked consciously with the computer to recast the lead, antimony, and tin of the 17th century Fell Types into ones and zeros. Signifier emerged from this alchemy with Bézier curves and sharp vectors determined by machine logic and a Brutalist ethos.
A1 features 8 websites using Signifier, including Resurf, Krida, and Every. They lean towards Serif, Typographic, and Light design styles, and they’re most often built with Next.js, Webflow, and Readymag.
