Monotype: The Eric Gill Series In 2015, Monotype set out to remaster, expand and revitalize Eric Gill's body of work, with more weights, more characters and more languages to meet a wide range of design requirements. The series also brings to life new elements inspired by some of Gill's unreleased work, discovered in Monotype's archive of original typeface drawings and materials of the last century. So, expect a number of large families coming to a web site near you. The releases: Joanna Sans Nova (2015, Terrance Weinzierl). Sixteen sans fonts, loosely based on Gill's slab serif, Joanna, so technically, this is not a Gill revival, but a Gill extension. A well-balanced family with a medium-to-large x-height. But the italic g is disturbing. Joanna Nova (2015, Ben Jones). A great 18-font update of Gill's original slab serif, Joanna. There is covergae now of Greek and Cyrillic. Gill Sans Nova (2015, George Ryan). The popular Gill Sans was extended from 18 to 43 fonts. Several new display fonts are available, including a suite of six inline weights, shaded outline fonts that were never digitized and Gill Sans Nova Deco that was previously withdrawn from the Monotype library. Again, Greek and Cyrillic coverage.
