Gill Sans is based on Edward Johnston's 1916 “Underground Alphabet�, the corporate font of London Underground. Gill as a young artist had assisted Johnston in its early development stages. In addition, Gill sketched an alphabet for Cleverdon as a guide for him to use for future notices and announcements. By this time Gill had become a prominent stonemason, artist and creator of lettering in his own right and had begun to work on creating typeface designs. 11/9.5pt Regular

t The proportions of Gill Sans stem from monumental Roman capitals in the upper case, and traditional "old-style" serif letters in the lower. This gives Gill Sans a very different style to lettering styles. For example, compared to realist sans-serifs the "C" and "a" have a much less "folded up" structure, with wider apertures. 9/10pt Regular
