Himy name is Mattia Brunengo, I am a graphic design e art direction student, from Milan at NABA university.

I am researching my degree thesis about the gilbert font. Do you have something more to send me? In this way, I could study deeply the story behind this amazing font.

I am waiting for a response.

Please the gilbert font means a lot to me.

Happy pride month.


Gilbert is sans-serif typeface, a tribute font to honor the memory of Gilbert Baker, the creator of the LGBT Rainbow Flag. This colorful typeface was supposedly designed to "express diversity and inclusion", specially made for striking headlines and statements that could live on banners for rallies and protests. It is part of the TypeWithPride initiative, a collaboration between NewFest, NYC Pride, Ogilvy and Fontself.[1][2][3]


This font has 2 versions, namely Color Bold and Bold. The Color Bold version was made in colors with OpenType SVG. The font has been included in Adobe Fonts since 2019 under the SIL Open Font License (OFL) license.[4][5][6] An animated version was made by Animography. [7]


In May 2017 a contest was organized to invite creatives to design their own banners, posters, videos and signs to celebrate diversity & creativity. Many creatives joined and submitted their work and grand prize winners got their creations showcased at Times Square's giant screens.[8][9]


We analyzed data from Priceonomics customer Venngage, a company that helps users all over the country create infographics and offer a wide range of fonts for people to choose from. Using anonymized data from users of their platform, we decided to see where in the US certain types of fonts are most commonly used.


To start, we categorized all the fonts into several major classifications commonly used by typographers: script fonts, decorative fonts, headline fonts. We also distinguished between serif and sans serif fonts.


These fonts, characterized by the loops, curves, and quirks of natural handwriting, are often employed for less serious content (comic strips), or when a personal touch is desired (invitations or greeting cards).


While script fonts have a storied history that dates back to the dawn of printing, decorative fonts only started getting popular in the early 19th century, when posters and advertisements became increasingly more common.


For example, 8.70% of users in Alaska chose to use Oswald in their infographics compared to a country average of 4.09%. This means that Alaskan users are 100% more likely to choose Oswald than the average US denizen. Similarly, West Virginians love to use the font Montserrat: they chose it 10% of the time, whereas the average user only chose Montserrat 5.19% of the time.


Now surely many others have written on Helvetica with far more erudition and historical knowledge, as the profound thoughts offered on the font by various designer/philosophers in the documentary reveal. These are merely the application of other thoughts I have thought in other contexts to the phenomena of Helvetica as social phenomena, as a point of musing. I have no special insight here, and would enjoy others bringing to my attention any studies/theories that would collaborate or counter my line of thinking.


Now let me deviate for a moment so to pass back into metaphysics and an interesting disagreement that arose in succeeding generations in the mid 17th century, newly modern Dutch Republic. Descartes was all the rage, presenting to forward thinking persons of nearly every ilk, a remarkably clean, efficient, and decidedly mechanistic view of the world. As we all well know as inheritors of the Cartesian mindframe, the world was made up of two Substances, one of which was that of Extension, by which we could view everything as operating as a kind of machine of causes. The other was that of Soul, and the problem was in articulating how the one connected to the other. For Descartes, imbued with a Christian view of the world, a most required connective part was the Will (voluntas), a faculty of judgment with operated upon passive and effortless human perception and its ideas, actively assessing out from neutrality both those which were true, and those which were false. (In this neutrality, perhaps you get the first glimpse of where I am going as per the neutrality of Helvetica as a font.)


Spinoza denied altogether the basic distinction between acts of comprehension and assessement, denying in fact the Cartesian freedom of Will. This is more than simply a perverse or subversive denial of free volitions as they seem to be to us most obviously. Rather it is part of a very different conception of Mind, and how it operates:


The psychological tests the author appeals to in support of a Spinoza epistemology may very well have been superceded by others after it. I have not seen the direction of research that has followed. What is memorable about the article, and why I strongly recommend it, is that it helps to concretely explain a very fundamental difference in theory that may have quite lasting and rippling effects, not only across cognitive science, but also perhaps within social criticism, as I am attempting to draw forth in the example of the Helvetica font. It gives a sense how a rather arcane sounding distinction made in the 1600s may have a lasting effect on the powers of our present day descriptions.


Imagine a library of a few million volumes, of which only a small number are fiction. There are (at least) two reasonable methods by which one could tag the spines of books so that fiction could be distinguished from nonfiction at a glance. One method would be to paste a red tag on each volume of fiction and a blue tag on each volume of nonfiction. Another method would be to tag the fiction and leave the nonfiction untagged. Either of these systems would accomplish the goal of allowing a librarian to distinguish fiction from nonfiction without necessitating that he or she actually reread the book each time such a discrimination needed to be made.


As I pointed out in my last post, there is much mystery about the lasting power of Helvetica, not to mention its strongly persuasive effects in both the political and the commercial realms. From the above description I feel it is safe to say that the sans-serif font Helvetica has come to be the Un-Marked font of both of these domains. And while it seems most likely that it would have been a sans-serif font that would become the un-marked term, there does seem something quite gridlike and balanced in the Helvetica that further enforces its unmarked status.


What we recall is that these issues and determinations are not those of armchair philosophies, of rare disciplines or their categories, but the very lived realities of experiential Marked and Un-marked Reals. Helvetica speaks metaphysical truths. And we daily read it. This makes room for both the grasp of and resisitance to, Helvetica.


When these two fonts are used together, it creates a balanced and harmonious design that captures the attention of readers while making the content appear professional and polished. This combination is perfect for creating a visually dynamic and modern design that is both engaging and readable for a wide range of audiences.
