"Gilbert" Typeface Honours LGBT Artist and Activist Gilbert Baker - We Resist.
A new font has been created in honour of LGBT artist and activist Gilbert Baker, who created the rainbow flag in 1978 as a way to represent the diversity and vibrancy of the queer community.
The bold typeface is simply called “Gilbert” and was created by an initiative called Type With Pride – a collaboration between NewFest, NYC Pride, Ogilvy & Mather’s design agency and a font creation platform called Fontself.
The Gilbert typeface can be downloaded for free here and can be promoted with the hashtag #TypeWithPride.
