BM Bless

If you imagine the entire Bless Type System as a fancy cake, BM Bless is the base dough. Sturdy yet sophisticated, but most importantly functional and without frilly bits, it can be used for a plethora of display applications. Available as a static file, containing regular glyph outlines only. 

BM Bless OO Var

If BM Bless is the base dough, then BM Bless 00 Var is the cherries, icing, and chantilly. It’s available as a variable font with nine ornament axes and one “stretch” axis, and it omits the regular glyph outlines. Designed as decoration to be used on top of BM Bless, but using it by itself might open doors to completely unexpected aesthetics.

BM Bless Var

When you finaly assemble your cake, putting the cherries and icing onto your base dough, the cake is complete. BM Bless Var is the fully mounted type system in all its glory, offering the user ornate letters with an enormous breadth of customisation. Available as a variable font, with both ornaments and glyph outlines. 


Usage

Layering

The fonts of the BM Bless Type System work well by themselves, but they really meant to be used following a layering principle. Each font can play a different role in this layering hierarchy and colours will very quickly and definitely bring depth to your designs. Now add movement to this and imagine how this could look as an animation!

Instances

To make the use of the BM Bless fonts more easy, we devised 25 instances to choose some of the nicest shapes without having to shape them yourself. These shapes are divided into 5 groups, each holding 4 different levels of intensity. But these are only some of the quasi endless designs, so don’t hesitate to push things further.


Opentype Features

Ornaments (ornm)

Activate the ORNM feature to swap the Bullet glpyh against a selection of ornaments, which could be used, for example, as border elements.
