LL Brown Designed by Aurèle Sack, first realesed by Lineto in 2011. LL Brown owes much to the groundbreaking work of both Edward Johnston and Arno Drescher, whose respective designs: Johnston Sans (1916), and Super Grotesk (1930); that are historically among the most influential geometric sans serifs.

William Turner
Bufera di Neve: Annibale e il suo esercito attraversano le Alpi Il dipinto raffigura l‘armata cartaginese di Annibale colta da una bufera di neve mentre valica le Alpi. Turner, dunque, si rivolge a un tema storico: eppure, il dipinto è caratterizzato da un‘assoluta preponderanza del tema del paesaggio, a tal punto che i soldati appaiono come una massa nera e brulicante, completamente in balia della forza tiranna degli elementi naturali. Con questo espediente pittorico Turner intende sottolineare la piccolezza materiale dell‘uomo e la sua sostanziale impotenza nei confronti della Natura. Il protagonista assoluto del dipinto, infatti, è il cielo, che ricopre la maggior parte della tela. La natura si sta scatenando, dando vita a fenomeni temporaleschi sempre violenti e spettacolari e a vorticosi ammassi di neve e di nebbia. Le grandi masse di neri e di grigio-verdi intensi vanno così a formare una pesante cortina atmosferica, appena squarciata dalla luce tremolante di una massa globulare appena accennata (il sole? la luna?) che si libra alta nel cielo, nella parte superiore del dipinto, premonitore del tragico destino che attende i Cartaginesi. La potenza annientatrice dell‘evento atmosferico effigiato sovrasta l‘osservatore con un‘opprimente sensazione di sbigottimento ed angoscia. La contemplazione della bufera, tuttavia, è accompagnata anche da un senso di ammirazione e riverenza, per via dell‘inconoscibilità e del mistero del soggetto effigiato. Nell‘animo dell‘osservatore, dunque, prospera un sentimento ambivalente che passa dal terrore al piacere, in pieno accordo con la poetica romantica del sublime, della quale Turner fu uno degli interpreti più sensibili ed appassionati. Bufera di neve: Annibale e il suo esercito attraversano le Alpi (Snow Storm: Hannibal and His Army Crossing the Alps) è un dipinto a olio su tela (145 x 236,5 cm) del pittore inglese William Turner, realizzato nel 1812 e conservato al Tate Britain di Londra.
Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851) è stato un pittore e incisore inglese, appartenente al movimento romantico. Famoso per le sue opere ad olio, Turner fu uno dei più grandi maestri britannici nella realizzazione di paesaggi all‘acquerello, e meritò il soprannome di «pittore della luce».
