Gill Sans’ CreationDrawing heavily on Johnston’s work, Gill first experimented with his ‘improvements’ in 1926 when he hand-painted lettering for a bookshop sign in his hometown, Bristol. Gill also sketched a guide for the bookshop owner, Douglas Cleverdon, who later published the work in A Book of Alphabets for Douglas Cleverdon.

The alphabet, which at the time only contained uppercase letters, was noticed by Stanley Morison for its commercial potential. A Monotype advisor, Morison commissioned Gill to develop a complete font family to compete with the sans-serif designs released by German foundries fueled by the overwhelming success of Futura. The font was released commercially by Monotype in 1928 as Gill Sans.

QTruly UniqueGill Sans was originally released as metal type, with more than 36 derivatives were created in over 3 years from 1929. A number of these derivatives was crafted - with Gill’s supervision - by the Monotype drawing oce. Since the typeface was not mechanically produced from a core design, Gill Sans is inconsistent in weight, also, less mechanical feeling than its rival, Futura, during that time.

The Gill Sans family ranges from Light to Ultra Bold.

Gill Sans is the Helvetica of England; ubiquitous, utilitarian and

yet also quite specific in its ability to point to our notions of

time and place. As the preferred typeface of British

establishments (the Railways, the Church, the BBC and Penguin

Books), Gill Sans is part of the British visual heritage just like

the Union Jack and the safety pin.
