March 31 marked the passing of Gilbert Baker, who in 1978 created the Rainbow Flag—now a globally renowned icon for LGBTQ pride. To honor him, and give activists and Pride marchers a new tool for their arsenals, a free typeface appropriates the flag and its expression of hope.
Created by NewFest and NYC Pride with help from Ogilvy & Mather and Fontself, “Gilbert” draws inspiration from the Rainbow Flag’s original design language. It was made specifically for living on banners at rallies and protests, with a family of weights and styles that accommodate striking headlines and statements.
Baker was an LGBTQ activist and artist, known for helping friends make banners for protests and marches.
