Knowledge2017 Font Fix
Knowledge
The font family (which includes a "Medium" variant often associated with 2017) is a widely-used typeface family developed by the Process Type Foundry . It is known for its clean, modern aesthetic and is frequently utilized in professional branding and digital publications. Key Variants and Styles
Special Features:
- Public release: No. The font was never made available for download, purchase, or licensing.
- Current status: Abandoned / Retired. After the Knowledge17 conference, the font was not used for subsequent Knowledge events (2018 onward used different branding).
- Piracy / unofficial copies: Low-quality, often corrupted TTF versions have appeared on obscure font forums, but these are not authentic and may contain errors (missing glyphs, incorrect kerning). Using such copies would violate Salesforce’s IP rights.
- Official replacement: Later Knowledge conferences (Knowledge18, Knowledge19, etc.) used variants of Salesforce Sans or other custom event fonts (e.g., “Salesforce Sans Display” with modified numerals).
- Event: Salesforce Knowledge17 Conference.
- Date: April 4–7, 2017.
- Location: Las Vegas, NV (at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center).
- Branding Theme: “Intelligent Customer Success,” focusing on AI (Einstein), connected data, and next-generation CRM.
- Design Rationale: To visually differentiate the conference from Salesforce’s core corporate font (Salesforce Sans) while creating a temporary, energetic identity that evoked high technology, precision, and forward motion.
If you are building an internal wiki, a technical manual, or a nostalgic conference recap, the Knowledge2017 style is perfect. It communicates clarity, reliability, and a subtle nod to the ITSM community. knowledge2017 font
