- Description
- Gill Sans is a humanist sans-serif typeface designed by Eric Gill and released by Monotype in 1928. Inspired by Johnston's 'Underground Alphabet' for the London Underground, Gill developed this versatile font with the aim to blend classic serif characteristics, Roman inscriptions, and modern geometry. Originally designed for titling capitals, it quickly expanded into a large family of styles. With its distinctive bold weight, Gill Sans is suitable for both traditional and contemporary designs.
