Gill Sans
Typography Poster
The objective of this project was to create a promotional poster using the Gill Sans typeface, celebrated for its exceptional legibility. To showcase this attribute in a unique way, I decided to integrate Gill Sans with the Snellen Chart—a standard tool for testing visual acuity.
The poster combines the elements of the Snellen Chart, where traditional numbers are replaced with historical facts about the Gill Sans typeface. To enhance readability and emphasize the beginning of each fact, the first letter of every word is highlighted in red. This creative approach not only demonstrates the legibility of Gill Sans in a practical context but also educates viewers about its historical significance and enduring appeal in typography.
By merging the functionality of the Snellen Chart with the aesthetic and informational qualities of Gill Sans, the promotional poster aims to engage viewers visually while informing them about the unique attributes of this iconic typeface.
