Webinar - Design with PRIDE: Celebrating inclusivity with NYC Pride.

Can you have a movement without a typeface? Uncover the story behind the NYC Pride rebrand, its mission to inspire, and learn how such an iconic typeface plays a fundamental role for their event. 

Join Lippincott, NYC Pride and Monotype for this interactive webinar. We examine how Lippincott and Monotype captured the spirit of the organization’s home city, and how the new design celebrates and unifies the power of the LBGTQIA+ community. We explore how design choices can invigorate themes like accessibility & inclusivity and discuss how to apply them in your next project.  You’ll discover:

  • A behind-the-scenes look at the new NYC Pride rebrand. 

  • How to champion inclusivity and diversity through design. 

  • Unlock a new design philosophy — how font choices can support accessibility for your audience.
