Gill Sans

The roots of Gill can be traced back to Old Face typefaces and more directly to his teacher Edward Johnston’s London Underground type. Gill has such similarly-proportioned strokes that the eye cannot tell the difference. This font exudes a modern feel due to its clear, generous and original characters.
