Link Stencil


About

Link Stencil is a round, geometric, sans-serif typeface with a width axis that allows it to move from condensed to very, very wide. The rounded details and geometric forms give the typeface an all around very friendly feel. Link Stencil is part of the larger Link Collection that consists of Link Overlap, a typeface born from two design challenges: how to showcase letterform construction while playing with an extreme width axis. Link Stencil follows similar design principles to Link Overlap but instead of overlapping there are stencil cuts.

Also in the Link Collection is Link, a more traditional sans serif typeface that follows the structure created in Link Overlap. All three typefaces in the Link Collection have the same skeletal structure, and so pair harmoniously in any configuration. And all typefaces in the Link Collection are available in variable font format for maximum flexibility, and precision typesetting.

Variable fonts are a modern type of font file that contain more than one style of a font. For example, Sprig Variable has a weight axis and contains all weights of the font ranging from hairline to super. So instead of having 8 files, a variable font allows you to have just one. In addition to reducing files and file size (which is great for the web ♥) variable fonts provide tons of amazing animation opportunities, and allow you to get super precise. In Sprig Variable you’re not limited to the weights we define, if you need something heavier than regular but lighter than medium, a variable font allows you to get it just right for your project.

Les plus anciennes mentions d’engrenages apparaissent en Chine, sans doute au IVe siècle av. J.-C.1. Les engrenages étaient aussi connus des Grecs. Les mentions qu’on en a concernent des systèmes très simples réalisés en bois, qui servaient à actionner des roues persanes, des pompes, des moulins à eau et des clepsydres. Mais un mécanisme complexe comportant 69 roues dentées en bronze, peut-être assemblé vers 200 av. J.-C., a été retrouvé dans l’épave d’un navire naufragé entre 70 et 60 av. J.-C.2. La machine d’Anticythère permettait de prédire et d’afficher les phases de la Lune, la position des planètes et les dates des éclipses solaires et lunaires. La première mention écrite d’un assemblage complexe d’engrenages n’apparaît qu’au IIIe siècle av. J.-C. dans les œuvres de l’ancien inventeur, ingénieur et mathématicien grec Ctesibius qui a inventé une horloge à eau mécanique à engrenages complexes (clepsydre) avec réveil intégré. Il s’agit d’une horloge à eau comprenant entre autres des engrenages épicycloïdaux. Après la création de la Machine d’Anticythère au IIIe siècle av. J.-C. on ne connaît rien d’autre d’aussi complexe jusqu’aux horloges mécaniques du milieu du XIVe siècle en Europe (les premières, plus simples, datent de la fin du XIIIe siècle). L’ingénieur architecte et inventeur romain Vitruve a inventé un compteur Odomètre avec un mécanisme d’engrenage différentiel complexe.
