GOSSIP FONT & ICON SET
Gossip is a blackletter pixel font connecting the web and textiles, inspired by Gutenberg’s first lead type font—Textura, and Susan Kare’s Cairo glyphs.
When Gutenberg set his first lead type in Textura, blackletter became the visual language of mass communication, used to shape narratives and define truths. By placing gossip in blackletter, we take a font once tied to authority and use it as a tool for storytelling that has long been marginalized.
The act of pairing these two challenges hierarchies of knowledge and language. Gossip becomes a tangible archive, while blackletter sheds its past exclusivity. Together, they weave a complex narrative—one that honours the voices often relegated to the margins. Gossip isn’t diminished but magnified, claiming its place in history, no longer fleeting.
