WHERE HAS IT BEEN USED?
Gill Sans rose in popularity
in the late 1920’s because in 1929 it became
the standard typeface
for the London North and
Eastern Railway, appearing on
everything from Locomotive nameplates to train timetables.
The success of Gills Sans didn’t stop there;
the designer Edward Young used the
typeface on the now iconic penguin book cover
designs.
Other notable uses of the typeface Gill Sans include the BBC Logo when it was re-designed in 1997 and is still used today, also the ‘Story’ part of the film Toy Story logo uses Gill Sans Heavy Bold.
