![]() ![]() ![]() A twentieth century sans serif that has a simplicity of form which does not reject traditional forms and proportions, and gives the face a humanist feel. These became Monotype series 231, produced in 1923, and the forerunner of the extensive Gill Sans range now available. This influenced Gill who later experimented with sans serif designs, and in due course produced a set of capital letters. Gill studied under the renowned calligrapher, Edward Johnston, the designer of the London Underground sans serif typeface. Gill Sans is the famous set of humanist sans serif fonts originally designed by Eric Gill and the Monotype Type Drawing Office, first appearing in 1928.
