John Mailley (Auckland, NZ) is the first guy to create a typeface called Gas (2012). I was waiting for this historic moment in the history of type design. He writes: I decided to focus my type design on the gas covers on the footpaths in Auckland city. From the three uppercase letters G A S, I derived the rest of the uppercase, lowercase, numbers and select symbols. The result is a rounded octagonal typeface.
