Gill Sans rose to popularity in 1929 when it became the standard typeface for the standard typeface for London and North Eastern Railway (LNER).
Gill Sans was the 1st successful sans-type based on humanist model of Renaissance. 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.
