Gill Sans is a humanist sans-serif typeface designed by British artist and type designer Eric Gill in 1928. Inspired by the work of his teacher, Edward Johnston—the creator of the London Underground typeface—Gill set out to design a typeface that was both highly legible and visually perfect. Gill Sans was made to be more versatile and refined, making it ideal for both signage and printed text.
