A single-weight display typeface by Murathan Biliktu, drawn from the historical upheaval of the Balkans and Mesopotamia in the late nineteenth century.
About
BM Agia channels the designer's personal connection to regions marked by displacement and loss, translating those narratives into letterforms that carry cultural memory. Released as part of Biliktu Foundry's Core Collection between 2020 and 2024, it offers one Regular weight with broad Latin and Armenian script coverage across more than a hundred languages. The design prioritises expressive intent over typographic utility, functioning best in editorial or cultural contexts where its historical resonance can be felt.
Classification
The typeface is described as lettering shaped by historical and cultural memory, with a single Regular weight and no stated style category beyond its expressive, display-oriented conception rooted in cultural storytelling.
