		In the 1920s he turned his creativity to type design and, in 1928, Gill Sans was born.
		Gill spent much of the 1930s further developing the Gill Sans family and the result is one of his most successful and widely used typeface designs
		One of reasons for the enduring success of Gill Sans is that it is based on Roman character shapes and proportions and is unlike virtually any other sans serif typeface.

	Gill Sans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gill Sans is a humanist sans-serif typeface designed by Eric Gill in the period 1927–30, and released by the Montoype Corporation Ltd. in 1930.
		Gill was a well established sculptor, graphic artist and type designer, and the Gill Sans typeface takes inspiration from Edward Johnston’s Railroad Gothic typeface, which Gill had worked on while apprenticing to Johnston.
		The uppercase of Gill Sans is modeled on the monumental Roman capitals like those found on the Column of Trajan, and the Caslon and Baskerville typefaces.

		Eric Gill (1882–1940) was active in many different fields, from wood engraving to sculpture, yet he always proclaimed his love for one of his earliest skills, letter-cutting in stone, which he continued to practice throughout his life.
		Gill turned to type designing in the 1920s when the Monotype Corporation commissioned him to draw the Perpetua® typeface, a design based on his stone-cut letters.
		The Gill Sans® design, Gill’s most widely-used typeface, was released by Monotype in 1928 as a set of capitals, to which lowercase letters were added the following year.

		Gill, in addition to being a lettering artist, considered himself a stone carver, which is written on his gravestone.
		Gill Sans was modeled in part by Gill's early work as an apprentice for Edward Johnston, the British calligrapher credited with designing the alphabet for the London Underground system.
		Gill Sans, considered to be the first successful sans serif typeface based on the humanist models of the Renaissance, offers a more pronounced contrast in stroke widths than most serifless fonts, resulting in a design that's been judged as more appealing to the eye, and ultimately more readable than monoweight alternatives.

	Typeface of the month: Gill Sans : Journal : Mark Boulton
		Gill Sans is a beautifully designed typeface which, unfortunately, has suffered at the hands of software, and to a certain extent, its own popularity.
		It should be noted that gills sans takes its form in a large part from the earlier humanist forms along with the more modern geometric forms -it is this mix of history and modernity that is just one of the many reasons that makes gill so special in many peoples hearts.
		Gill Sans is beggging for a redraw to address the bold problem - it’s amazing that it hasn’t happened; a foundry should step in and create a usable Gill Sans family with depth.

		Because the characters of the Gill Sans alphabet are based on classic roman letterforms and not geometric shapes, they are remarkably legible.

	Typotheque: Eric Gill got it wrong; a re-evaluation of Gill Sans by Ben Archer
		Gill obliterated the terminus endings of the vertical stroke in ‘b’, ‘d’, ‘p’ and ‘q’; the Monotype drawing office again came to his assistance and revised the forms so that they were preserved in the medium weight (this can be seen on early samples of the series 262).
		Gill Sans Light (series 362) may equate to the book, normal or even the regular weight in other typefaces, just as Gill Sans Medium (series 262) looks like boldface in comparison, and Gill Sans Bold (series 275) is already well on the way to what Gill himself called Gill Sans Double Elefans.
		With uppercase E and F, Gill standardised the length of the lower and middle arms to match the width of the topmost arm, narrowing the overall widths of both letters to compensate.
