Gill Kayo joins Club 💯

Initially dubbed “Sans Double Elefans” and later known as Gill Sans Ultra Bold, the heavyweight extension from 1936 wasn’t always loved: its designer* disowned it, thinking of it as an “absurd misconception”, and British typographer Robert Harling characterized it as “the most horrendous and blackguardly of these display exploitations”.

Gill Kayo (as in K.O. 🥊) found its fans when extremer styles became fashionable in the 1970s. In fact, 35 out of the 100 Uses now documented on Fonts In Use date from that decade. See ’em all:

For your typographic holiday reading, here’s @fhardwig on a songbook with Christmas carols produced by artists of the Werkstatt Haus zum Fürsteneck … in 1940: https://fontsinuse.com/uses/11409/lieder-zur-weihnachtszeit-1940

“As soon as one starts reading, one is painfully reminded that the heyday of this workshop in the tradition of the Arts and Crafts movement coincided with Nazism, and that its members allowed those in power to coopt their talents for propaganda purposes. As beautiful as Claudius and the two-colored musical notation might be, the joy is spoiled by the content which is drenched in the unholy zeitgeist.”

Ten days ago, The Hague’s newest cultural venue Intercity opened doors for a sneak preview; the opening featured my oldest son looking handsome in uniform, and signage by All Sizes set in Thermorest by @mass_driver
