The Gentrification Font
- throwaway22032 3y agoHa. From a UK perspective this looks like the opposite of gentrification (rich folk moving into the inner city), it's more like cookie cutter bargain basement build.

- viggity 3y agoCaucasians moving out? White Flight. Caucasians moving in? Evil Gentrification. Nothing will make these people happy.
- tafda 3y agoNeutraface is easy to find but rather boring and cliche. I went with custom house numbers in Adrian Frutiger’s Univers font from here: https://www.accurateimageinc.com/ https://www.accurateimageinc.com/
- wilg 3y agoPeople seem to feel very smart for pointing out things that look and feel like gentrification without actually really understanding what gentrification is. I found this article from a couple years back illuminating: https://darrellowens.substack.com/p/the-look-of-gentrification https://darrellowens.substack.com/p/the-look-of-gentrificati... > This conflation of modern architecture as a “gentrification style” was so common that low income builders began erecting signs explaining they were affordable housing. Also, this article is frustrating because it’s explicitly just trying to make some clickbait out of a couple tweets the author saw, presumably from a random people who don’t know what they’re talking about.
