Quietly leaving this little project here today, which has been in the making since 2024. It's an attempt to rethink the making of a script font, namely by drawing most letters with code and creating as many alternates as needed to create an organic, handwritten feel. BM Glue also comes with a weight, gradient and slant axis.

To finish the year, @ceci_dcd@typo.social and I are releasing another experimental project called BM Neon. We tried to push the boundaries of what a variable COLRv1 font can be.

BM Neon comes as three variable fonts. Each font holds at its core a specific type of gradient: Linear, Radial and Sweep. These can be manipulated via axes. In browsers, the colours can even be changed! @Adobe@brands.town & @Figma@mstdn.social when will this be possible in software??

If interested, there is some more info about the project on our website.

Just want to share some images of our second release with @ceci_dcd@typo.social, BM Lithe, which is the rework of my Typemedia graduation project. Lots more info on our website!

Last week, @ceci_dcd@typo.social and I released two things: A first type design project, BM Bless, and the online shop, www.beamtype.com, on which it can be licensed.

BM Bless is a modern take on a mid-19th century design: the ornamental typeface. Combining code-drawn shapes with hand-drawn ones, the project comes as a set of variable and static fonts made for layering.
