The typeface was originally designed for proprietary use by Gill's printing shop Hague & Gill. The type was first produced in a small quantity by the Caslon Foundry for hand composition. It was eventually licensed for public release by the Monotype foundry in 1937. In designing Joanna, Gill took inspiration from the types of Robert Granjon (1513–1589). The underlying armature of both the roman and italics bear strong similarities with Granjon's type, yet the spare, sharp squared serifs and moderate contrast of strokes, have a 20th-century modernist feeling. The italics are more vertical than Granjon's with only a 3° slope. The face is, as Gill described it himself “a book face free from all fancy business.” Similarities can be seen with Gill's earlier typefaces Cockerel and Perpetua. Gill chose Joanna for setting An Essay on Typography, a book by him on his thoughts on typography, typesetting, and page design.

Eric Rowton Gill (22 February 1882–17 November 1940) was an English sculptor, typeface designer, stonecutter and printmaker, who was associated with the Arts and Crafts movement. He is a controversial figure, with his well-known religious views and subject matter being seen as at odds with his sexual and paraphilic behavior and erotic art. Gill was named Royal Designer for Industry, the highest British award for designers, by the Royal Society of Arts. He also became a founder-member of the newly established Faculty of Royal Designers for Industry. During his lifetime, he set up three self-sufficient religious communities where, surrounded by his retinue, he worked as sculptor, wood-engraver, and typeface designer. He also wrote constantly and prodigiously on his favorite topics: social reform; the integration of the body and spirit; the evils of industrialization; and the importance of the working man. He became a Catholic in 1913 and this influenced his sculpture and writings. His first typeface, Perpetua, was designed for Stanley Morison who had badgered him for years on this matter. Gill Sans is a clear modern type and became the letter of the railways–appearing on their signs, engine plates, and timetables. Joanna is a transitional serif typeface designed by him in the period 1930–31, and named for one of his daughters.
