Gill Sans Serif
typeface
Quick Summary
Gill Sans Serif is a typeface designed by Eric Gill in 1927. It is a sans-serif font, meaning it lacks the small decorative strokes (serifs) typically found at the ends of letter strokes. While sans-serif fonts are often used for display purposes rather than continuous reading, Gill Sans Serif is a notable example of this style. Eric Gill was a British sculptor, typographer, and writer known for his elegant lettering and typefaces.12
