In memory of Gilbert Baker, creator of the Rainbow Flag, we've created a font for all
On 31 March, 2017, Gilbert Baker the creator of the iconic Rainbow Flag sadly passed away. Mr. Baker was both an LGBTQ activist and artist, and was known for helping friends create banners for protests and marches. To honor the memory of Gilbert Baker, NewFest and NYC Pride partnered with Fontself to create a free font inspired by the design language of the iconic Rainbow Flag, the font was named 'Gilbert' after Mr. Baker.

New illustrated typeface with a joyful look and feel
The typeface SwingKing is the work of the Danish illustrator Erik Sørensen.
