○ 尺黑, 实验字体 (2024)
Ruler Sans draws inspiration from a stencil-based printing method popular in the 1950s–60s and the mimeograph typographic style that emerged from it. This technique required writing forcefully with a steel nib onto a stencil sheet, carving the forms into its surface. The physical constraints of the tools resulted in letterforms characterized by straight horizontal and vertical strokes and a pronounced geometric quality. Ruler Sans is not a revival of a traditional typeface, but an experimental exploration informed by that historical process.
尺黑的灵感来自1950到60年代的一种用蜡纸印刷的方法与随之而生的油印字体风格。这种印刷与书写方式需要使用钢头笔在钢版上用力刻写，工具的限制形成了这种笔画横平竖直、富有几何感的字体。尺黑并非对传统字体的复刻，而是一种实验性的探索。
