- First of all, Gill Sans Nova UltraLight is simply visually pleasing to me. I almost feel like you can sense that the creator of the original font was a sculptor: Well-balanced, subtle, but confident. For my documentary photo-project about age it will complement portraits with eye-catching quotes, as well as easy to read, clear paragraphs.

-->Overview
Gill Sans is the famous set of humanist sans serif fonts originally designed by Eric Gill and the Monotype Type Drawing Office, first appearing in 1928. Gill studied under the renowned calligrapher, Edward Johnston, the designer of the London Underground sans serif typeface. This influenced Gill who later experimented with sans serif designs, and in due course produced a set of capital letters. These became Monotype series 231, produced in 1923, and the forerunner of the extensive Gill Sans range now available. A twentieth century sans serif that has a simplicity of form which does not reject traditional forms and proportions, and gives the face a humanist feel. The lighter weights are highly readable in text and suitable for magazine and book work, whereas the heavier weights are best used for display in advertising, packaging, and labels.
