大名鼎鼎的Gill Sans®是由英国艺术家、字体设计师Eric Gill设计的，并由Monotype于1928年至1930年发行。Gill Sans的起源可以追溯到1918年Gill的老师Edward Johnston为伦敦地铁设计的标识。Gill的字母系统在比例上更加经典，包含了标志性的像喇叭一样的大写字母R和像眼镜一样的小写字母g。Gill Sans是一款人文主义的无衬线字体，其结构有点几何感。它也有明显的英国风格。虽然有那么一点怪异，但清晰而具有现代感，较细的字重适用于文本，较粗的字重适合显示排印。Gill Sans也可以用于Macintosh及PC平台。

The successful Gill Sans® was designed by the English artist and type designer Eric Gill and issued by Monotype in 1928 to 1930. The roots of Gill Sans can be traced to the typeface that Gill's teacher, Edward Johnston, designed for the signage of the London Underground Railway in 1918. Gill´s alphabet is more classical in proportion and contains what have become known as his signature flared capital R and eyeglass lowercase g. Gill Sans is a humanist sans serif with some geometric touches in its structures. It also has a distinctly British feel. Legible and modern though sometimes cheerfully idiosyncratic, the lighter weights work for text, and the bolder weights make for compelling display typography. Gill Sans is also available as Value Pack for Macintosh, PC or as Hybrid CD with both platforms.
