PRINTING. - The Gill Sans-Serif Family. Leyland, Lancashire: The Mould Type Foundry, [circa 1928.] 4to (277 x 208mm.) Numerous examples of the Gill Sans-Serif typeface. (Toning.) Original card covers, green lettering to upper cover. Note: scarce. Eric Gill was commissioned by Stanley Morison, executive of Monotype, to develop further Gill's initial designs for a typeface.

Gill's clean and modern design was launched by Monotype in 1928 and soon became popular in poster and advertising design, as well as on the covers of Penguin Books. - And a further six booklets and prospectuses relating to printing (including another Sans Serif design, 'Granby', published by 'Stephenson, Blake & Co.', [circa 1930], 4to) (7).
