BM Costes Gracilis specimen from Biliktu Foundry

A slim, contrast-heavy companion to Murathan Biliktu's debut typeface Costes, drawn from the mood of the Mediterranean coastline.

About

Costes Gracilis strips back the proportions of the original Costes, pushing stroke contrast further to create a more refined, high-tension display voice. Biliktu treats type design as a therapeutic, deliberately imperfect process, and that philosophy is visible in the letterforms. Wide Latin language support makes it more versatile than its poetic origins might suggest.

Classification

A slim, high-contrast display typeface with a strong personal voice, evoking Mediterranean light and warmth. Its contrast-heavy stroke structure and deliberately imperfect character place it firmly in the display category.
