Abstract
The eccentric English sculptor, engraver, and letter carver, Eric Gill (1882–1940), is best known today for the typeface named after him, Gill Sans. Designed in 1928, it is a simple, legible face based on the classical letterforms that Gill used for carving in stone—letters he had seen on the Trajan Column in Rome. By going back to typography's roots, Gill managed to produce a sans-serif typeface that was classic but had an unmistakable modern look. It is still widely used today. Eric Gill. Nigel Holmes © 2007
