About Lithium

A single mid-grey land tone, darker water and black type. It looks like a technical drawing or a wireframe and prints well in monochrome.

Best for: Technical diagrams, print and wireframe mock-ups.

Like every ExpressMaps style, Lithium is served as vector tiles built from OpenStreetMap data, so it stays crisp on high-density screens, supports rotation and tilt, and works with MapLibre GL JS, Mapbox GL JS, OpenLayers and Leaflet. The style is a standard MapLibre style document, so you can also download it, change the colours and host your own variant.
