Pride
In June 2017, JUDiTH+ROLFE created a series of paper works inspired by the Gilbert font. This tribute font was named after Gilbert Baker (1951 – 2017), an American artist, LGBTQ activist, and designer of the iconic rainbow flag.
Our artwork was a grand prize winner in the freeform category of the Type With Pride Contest. Three winning entries were prominently featured on a big screen in Times Square, NYC, during Pride Month in June 2017.
Since our participation in the Type With Pride project in 2017, we've dedicated ourselves to creating a pride-themed piece every June in celebration of diversity and inclusion. This is a personal project that we plan on continuing for many years to come.
