n 1906 Edward Johnston’s seminal book Writing & illuminating & lettering was first published. The ideas Johnston put forward, both in this book and in his lectures, were to inspire a revival of interest in calligraphy and to inform the wider fields of lettering and type in England. One of Johnston’s ideas was a belief that a block sans serif form could be made more harmonious and acceptable if it were derived from the proportions of the Roman square capital letter. Bliss began with a nod of recognition to this idea. However, during the development of Bliss, five typefaces in all were studied, each with a unique and interesting history; Johnston’s Underground, Gill Sans, the Transport typeface, Syntax and Frutiger. With the Underground type, Johnston put into practice his ideas of a linear block sans serif. Eric Gill, a friend and collaborator of Johnston, draws heavily on Johnston’s example for his own Gill Sans of c.1928. Transport, designed for the Department of
Transport, utilises features and ideas from Johnston and Gill as well as concepts found in some of the continental type forms of the 1950s – such as the single bowl form of the g. The designer, Jock Kinneir, also worked hard to avoid ambiguity between characters sharing similar basic forms. Hans Eduard Meier developed the idea of a dynamic structure within the normally rigid forms of a sans serif type. His Syntax typeface is drawn over the structure of an Old Face letter.
