A valve is a device or natural object that regulates, directs or controls the flow of a fluid (gases, liquids, fluidized solids, or slurries) by opening, closing, or partially obstructing various passageways. Valves are technically fittings, but are usually discussed as a separate category. In an open valve, fluid flows in a direction from higher pressure to lower pressure. The word is derived from the Latin valva, the moving part of a door, in turn from volvere, to turn, roll. The simplest, and very ancient, valve is simply a freely hinged flap which swings down to obstruct fluid (gas or liquid) flow in one direction, but is pushed up by the flow itself when the flow is moving in the opposite direction. This is called a check valve, as it prevents or "checks" the flow in one direction. Modern control valves may regulate pressure or flow downstream and operate on sophisticated automation systems. Valves have many uses, including controlling water for irrigation, industrial uses for controlling processes, residential uses such as on/off and pressure control to dish and clothes washers and taps in the home. Valves are also used in the military and transport sectors. In HVAC ductwork and other near-atmospheric air flows, valves are instead called dampers. In compressed air systems, however, valves are used with the most common type being ball valves.

Valve is a versatile typeface collection that blends grotesque, geometric, gestural, industrial, monospaced, and cursive sans serif styles into a unified, cohesive ensemble. Defying conventional classifications, Valve provides a wide range of typesetting options through its two distinct families: an ink-trapped workhorse designed for excellent readability at small sizes, and a striking stencil companion that reveals the font’s modular structure and underlying design connections. Valve features three main stylistic sets—a blocky semi-monospaced variant, a familiar humanist style, and a lively cursive option—each showcasing unique contextual ligatures that adapt to tracking for smooth text flow in any combination.

With its adaptability and dynamic nature, Valve allows you to control and fine-tune the expressive qualities of your text, making it ideal for a variety of projects, from bold branding and impactful signage to refined editorial design.
