Sprig


About

Sprig is a contemporary serif type family with round, friendly details. Inspired by early versions of Cheltenham by Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue, Sprig began as a revival but over time grew away from its roots and into a more modern, geometric typeface. The type retains iconic details from Goodhue’s Cheltenham like the open counter g and round teardrop terminals, but has updated proportions to increase legibility and usability. A wide number of OpenType features provide access to special characters like swash caps, ligatures, and alternate glyphs.

Cheltenham was the world’s first full-fledged large type family, and Sprig follows in its footsteps. Drawn digitally with a rigorous attention to every detail, the type shines in all sizes and the wide range of weights allow for a wide breadth of expression without leaving the family. The Sprig collection also includes Sprig Sans, a friendly geometric grotesk typeface, with matching proportions and weights to its serif counterpart. All Faire Type typefaces are available as variable fonts, 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.

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life.

Jamaica Bay (also known as Grassy Bay) is an estuary on the southern portion of the western tip of Long Island, in the U.S. state of New York. The estuary is partially man-made, and partially natural. The bay connects with Lower New York Bay to the west, through Rockaway Inlet, and is the westernmost of the coastal lagoons on the south shore of Long Island. Politically, it is primarily divided between the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens in New York City, with a small part touching Nassau County. The bay contains numerous marshy islands. It was known as Grassy Bay as late as the 1940s. Jamaica Bay is located adjacent to the confluence of the New York Bight and New York Bay, and is at the turning point of the primarily east-west oriented coastline of southern New England and Long Island and the north-south oriented coastline of the mid-Atlantic coast.

They always called it Magic and indeed it seemed like it in the months that followed—the wonderful months—the radiant months—the amazing ones. Oh! the things which happened in that garden! If you have never had a garden you cannot understand, and if you have had a garden you will know that it would take a whole book to describe all that came to pass there. At first it seemed that green things would never cease pushing their way through the earth, in the grass, in the beds, even in the crevices of the walls. Then the green things began to show buds and the buds began to unfurl and show color, every shade of blue, every shade of purple, every tint and hue of crimson. In its happy days flowers had been tucked away into every inch and hole and corner. Ben Weatherstaff had seen it done and had himself scraped out mortar from between the bricks of the wall and made pockets of earth for lovely clinging things to grow on. Iris and white lilies rose out of the grass in sheaves, and the green alcoves filled themselves with amazing armies of the blue and white flower lances of tall delphiniums or columbines or campanulas. “She was main fond o’ them—she was,” Ben Weatherstaff said. “She liked them things as was allus pointin’ up to th’ blue sky, she used to tell. Not as she was one o’ them as looked down on th’ earth—not her. She just loved it but she said as th’ blue sky allus looked so joyful.” The seeds Dickon and Mary had planted grew as if fairies had tended them. Satiny poppies of all tints danced in the breeze by the score, gaily defying flowers which had lived in the garden for years and which it might be confessed seemed rather to wonder how such new people had got there. And the roses—the roses!

Le parc national des Calanques est un parc national français, couvrant, notamment, les calanques de Marseille, dans le département des Bouches-du-Rhône, au cœur de la métropole d’Aix-Marseille-Provence. Créé en 2012, il est le premier parc national périurbain d’Europe à la fois terrestre et marin. Il s’étend sur un massif littoral constitué de falaises calcaires et de poudingue, de criques et d’îlots qui constituent des écosystèmes relativement préservés pour de nombreuses espèces vivantes. Le plus haut sommet du parc national des Calanques est le mont Carpiagne (645 m) au cœur du massif de Saint-Cyr. Depuis plus d’un siècle, le site est fréquenté par de nombreux usagers dans un cadre professionnel ou touristique et sportif  : pêcheurs, chasseurs, promeneurs, randonneurs, grimpeurs, plongeurs et, plus récemment, traileurs. La zone cœur du parc national s’étend sur les communes de Marseille, Cassis et La Ciotat et l’aire d’adhésion comprend les communes de Marseille, Cassis et La Penne-sur-Huveaune. Le parc englobe notamment les calanques de Marseille, les îles de l’archipel du Frioul et de l’archipel de Riou, l’île Verte, le massif du cap Canaille et le massif de Saint-Cyr. Au total, les espaces en cœur s’étendent sur environ 8 500 hectares pour la partie terrestre et 43 500 hectares pour la partie marine. L’aire d’adhésion s’étend sur 2 630 hectares et l’aire maritime adjacente (orientations de développement durable en mer à l’instar de l’aire d’adhésion à terre) s’étend sur 97 700 hectares. Le massif des Calanques est essentiellement constitué de roches calcaires datant du Mésozoïque (250 à 65 millions d’années). Ces roches sédimentaires ont été formées pour la plupart dans les mers chaudes du Jurassique et surtout du Crétacé, par l’accumulation de particules minérales et organiques compactées et cimentées entre elles. Les fossiles d’organismes marins (ex. algues, oursins, rudistes) témoignent de cette origine marine. À la suite de mouvements tectoniques (formations des Pyrénées puis des Alpes), les roches ont ultérieurement émergé. Vers 1,5 Ma, un dernier mouvement tectonique surélève toute la région. Si les traces archéologiques sont rares, la présence de l’homme est certaine sur l’actuel littoral marseillais, du Paléolithique inférieur (1,5 million à 100 000 ans BP) jusqu’au Néolithique. La grotte des Trémies a révélé les plus anciennes traces humaines dans les Calanques, rattachées à la culture de l’homme de Néandertal : un foyer « pré-moustérien » (probablement avant 300 000 ans BP), avec des traces d’habitat, des silex et outils taillés par petits éclats. La grotte Cosquer révèle des mains négatives vieilles de 27 000 ans. Des peintures et sculptures ultérieures, et quelques outils (lampe), sont datées de 18 000 ans (époque du Solutréen). Ces hommes vivant de chasse, pêche et cueillette, étaient installés aux pieds des falaises, alors que le niveau de la mer étaient plus bas et le littoral éloigné d’une quinzaine de kilomètres. Les figures préhistoriques représentent des chevaux, bouquetins, chamois, bisons, aurochs, cerfs, antilopes, félin mais aussi quelques espèces marines dont le pingouin et le phoque, qui témoignent du climat extrêmement froid lors la dernière période glaciaire. Les traces sont plus nombreuses pour les époques plus récentes.
