About

BM Lithe is a display sans serif that was originally designed by Felix Bamforth during his studies at TypeMedia. Drawn with very dynamic curves, BM Lithe is a condensed Sans with a large x-height and capital letters that descend below the baseline, giving the typeface a unique look. Composed of 6 upright weights each complemented by an italic made of rotated, rather than slanted letters, BM Lithe offers 12 styles with several alternates to help your communication look alive, modern and loud.

Using BM Lithe is straight-forward: It comes with a handful of stylistic alternates which can be used to tailor every word-shape to your liking. Because the capital letters don't sit on the baseline, but the descender level, the case feature will also help you shift down some elements like the period or comma in all-cap situations.
