Gill Sans Font

Gill Sans Font It would be one of the most novel designs in typography if it weren’t so readable. In 1928, the legendary English-type designer Eric Gill created this sans serif with aims to combine, just perfectly, the right amount of Modernism with humanist warmth from the past. As a result, it appears very modern but also very friendly, which makes it a very apt typeface for a vast band of applications, from corporate branding to public signage.

There is good reason for this, in that it has clean lines and balanced proportions, two significant deficits in most other sans-serif fonts, which make them cold and impersonal; there is still a little soft quality about Gill Sans. That’s primarily due to the acceptable use of curves and minimal variation in stroke width, which lend it more of an organic feel. With those two qualities, it seems to work at both body and headline sizes, where the words are retained with natural ease.
