    About DT Lythmore Font Family


    Lythmore

    This font is called Lythmore and is inspired by Lithos.

    Lithos was originally designed for Adobe by Carol Twombly in 1990, based it on the lettering from ancient Greek inscriptions.


    The Capitals are similar in feel and design, but is totally original and built from scratch.

    It is designed to be similar intentionally, but it is not a clone or rip off.

    Lithos is an example of a simple blocky san serif font style, with subtly concave sides, angled ends, and off centred curves.


    Lythmore is also an example of that same style.

    But is also different in places where I felt it could be improved. And it has a complete lower case set, which Lithos doesn't.

    I built Lythmore with 8 different weights.


    Lythmore can be very effective when used in advertising and general display work, but it can also be used for much more.

    Although it was never designed to be body copy, when used as such, it is still perfectly readable and adds its own version of sans serif style and flavour.


    I have included two versions of the Lythmore family.

    Lythmore A and Lythmore B.

    In the Lythmore A family, the lighter 4 weights all vary in weight in both the horizontal and vertical axis. The heavier 4 weights all vary in the horizontal axis only.

    In the Lythmore B family, the transition is even in both directions across the entire family.

    The result of this difference is that the A and B versions difference is most noticeable between the Regular and Medium weights. While the extreme ends of each family version are virtually identical.
