So why are typographers [in general] notoriously poor designers?
- paraselene0
that you would probably like a sturdier beast... try perhaps a mastiff or a small pony...
- neue75_bold0
so does what that say about me if I only find the bold and ultra-bold weights of Gill appealing?

Just a quick update for you guys.
Well, it was a very tough quiz, lots of obscure history and questions on detailing and classification as well as music related type questions.
But of all the teams, my team 'Special Knees' won the day and took home first prize!
Part of me is proud, given that we were up against London's nerdiest including tutors from design colleges, and part of me wants to die of shame for being able to identify a photo of zuzana licko.

yup.
that's proabably why all the other weights of gill sans are so badly drawn. He designed the regular and italic and then starting screwing his dog and lost interest in type. He rattled out the bold and ultra bold in a weekend while his dog was at the vet.
true story.
