Link figures are used as an 'in-page' navigation - often on landing pages where we're using a full-width page and there's no subnavigation.
Use the grid system to arrange them on a page.
Available in a range of colours, for better or for worse. Use wisely.

Edge cases
If there's too much content in a link figure, JS kicks in and makes the image fit vertically.
