Ribes
Collletttivo · Luigi Gorlero · 2018
A reverse-stress display typeface with mixed proportions and an irreverent personality drawing on 1950s and Funk visual culture.
About
Designed by Luigi Gorlero and released in 2018, Ribes comes in three weights — Light, Regular and Black — each calibrated to deliver a different degree of warmth and directness. The reverse-stress construction, mixed proportions and deliberately confused historical references give it a character suited to headlines and large-scale typesetting. It is free to use under the SIL Open Font License.
Classification
Ribes is explicitly described as a reverse-stress typeface with decorative intent and display sizing, placing it firmly in the display category with a reverse-contrast subcategory drawing on 1950s and Funk aesthetics.
