UNDERWORLD
2025 GEORGIA, USA – Underworld serves as a type specimen book for the typeface Gill Sans. Gill Sans was created by designer Eric Gill. It proceeded to be the face of the London Underground and many Penguin Book titles. However, there is a juxtaposition between the characteristics of Gill Sans and Eric Gill. Gill Sans was designed to be a legible typeface and embodies clarity, while Gill’s character is obscured, buried under his proficiency as a designer. This book reflects Gill’s heinous actions as a predator. Effects such as obscuring, muddying, and jumbling the text to give one clear message: Eric Gill did unimaginable harm.
