This is especially true with all that we’ve added to the new series, while still retaining the familiarity of Gill Sans. “It’s been adapted for every publishing technology, from mechanical typesetting to digital imaging – always receiving the best treatment from Monotype in each iteration. “Gill Sans was fast to strike a chord with people after its initial 1928 release and quickly became popular,” explains Ryan. The Gill Sans Nova family has a large character set that supports Latin, Greek and Cyrillic languages. Several new display fonts are available, including a suite of six inline weights, shadowed outline fonts that were never digitized and Gill Sans Nova Deco that was previously withdrawn from the Monotype library.Ī variety of OpenType® features are supported that make it possible to include experimental characters from different points in Gill Sans’s long history, including pointed diagonals on ‘A’, ‘V’ and ‘W’ and alternatives for ‘b’, ‘d’, ‘p’ and ‘q.’ Proportional figures are also available as an alternative to the tabular designs. The Gill Sans® Nova typeface, by Monotype Studio designer George Ryan, expands the much-loved Gill Sans family from 18 to 43 fonts and features a coordinated range of roman and condensed designs. Gill Sans Nova contains 43 styles and family package options. Gill Sans Nova was designed by Eric Gill, George Ryan and published by Monotype.
