    exactly what that is. This is a feeble attempt to be totally unbiased of the creator's rather odd beliefs and preferences- incest and bestiality are frowned upon in most cultures and against the law, for the most part. So, Gill Sans was designed by Eric Gill in the late 1920s for Stanley Morison, the artistic advisor for Monotype Corporation at the time.
