Gill Sans Font

Gill Sans was designed by British sculptor and typographer Eric Gill in 1928.

Influenced by Edward Johnston’s iconic typeface for the London Underground, Gill created a font that combined geometric simplicity with humanist warmth. 

It became widely popular in the mid-20th century, especially in British branding and signage, solidifying its reputation as a timeless sans serif typeface.
