Styles

BM Lithe Upright

The Upright styles span a wide range of weights, from Thin to Black. This choice of weights will allow you to create everything from elegant, slender to loud and confident designs.

BM Lithe Italic

The Italics are spread accross the same span of weights, harmonising with the upright for each weight value. The Italics can be used to complement the upright styles, but are also great on their own to make your designs even more dynamic.


Usage

Descending Capitals

Next to the very dynamic curves of BM Lithe, it is the unusual treatment of the capital letters that give this typeface its distinct flavour. Instead of sitting on the baseline, like most typefaces, BM Lithe floats around the optical vertical center of the words. 

Display Uses

Use BM Lithe to create loud and clear designs. It's ideal for headlines and slogans, so simple and large applications of the typeface is what we recommend. It comes even more to life with vivid colours.

Figure Styles

Because of the strong difference between capitals and lowercase letters, we've included four sets of different figure styles. Use Lining Figures with capitals, and Old Style Figures with the lowercase letters. And if this font ever ends up in a table, tabular figures will accomodate that usage too!


Opentype Features
