Byblis

The typeface Byblis shows the moment of transformation of the eponymous figure from greek mythology. Ovid’s work “Metamorphoses” served as a basis. Byblis is in love with her twin brother Caunus, but he rejects her. She then goes mad and pursues him for a long time until she collapses exhausted and wets the grass with her tears. The nymphs try unsuccessfully to help her and finally create an inexhaustible spring and Byblis spills over in her own tears.
