It has a relatively small x-height in comparison with other sans serif fonts, a huge x-height is usually considered to achieve a high legibility but Gill sans seems to be the exception to this rule. Also Gill sans is essentially the only other sans serif typeface without modular use of strokes, “O” is a perfect circle, and the vertical strokes as well as upstrokes and down strokes have consistent thickness, only the “a”, “e” and “g” have thinner strokes at the openings of the small eyes. These exceptions to an otherwise consistent stroke thickness are one of the trademark characteristics of Gill Sans. Unlike other popular sans serif fonts, for example, Arial and Verdana, Gill sans uses a double storey lowercase “g”; this has a distinctive eyeglass shape, which is easily recognisable.
