Johnston is quite nice and has some features that are very distinguished such as diamond pips, but essentially it looks like Gill Sans.

couple of years ago I started redesigning gill sans to make all the weights fit together in a logical way, but then never continued. If someone did that they could make loads of money

"His personal diaries describe his sexual activity in great detail including the fact that Gill sexually abused his own children, had an incestuous relationship with his sister and performed sexual acts on his dog."
for those reasons we should all just boycott Gill Sans completely

One of the 1990's Cranbrook typography crowd did an excellent pisstake font... Barry Deck or one of that crowd. It was essentially Gill Sans but with puppy dog's tails and little butt holes in the coutners.
