the font The Gill Sans font was designed in England and draws a clear reference to Great Britain. The original design appeared in 1926 when Douglas Cleverdon opened a bookshop in his home town of Bristol, where Eric Gill painted the fascia over the window in sans-serif capitals that would be later be known as Gill Sans. Gill Sans became popular when in 1929 Cecil Dandridge commissioned Eric Gill to produce Gill Sans to be used on the London and Nor th Eastern Railway as an unique typeface for all the posters and publicity material.
