Typeface stories by Ben ArcherThis article is intended for an audience of contemporary designers and students who are at least one step removed from mid-century British typographic culture; it is a critique of the Gill Sans typeface and the idiosyncrasies of its creation from a contemporary perspective.

Licensing
Can I transfer the font licence to someone else?
Yes, Typotheque font licences are transferrable, so you may transfer a previously purchased font licence to someone else, provided the third party agrees to the same licensing terms in writing and you destroy your copies of the fonts and confirm this in writing too.Can you issue an invoice and I pay by bank transfer?
Yes, this is also our preferred way of payment. Just place your order online, select the licence and fonts you wish to purchase, and at the final step, choose to create an invoice. You will find our bank details there, but please use this method only when you have an order number.How can I access special characters and symbols inside your fonts?
Design applications such as Adobe InDesign and Illustrator offer an option to view the glyphs pallet, and manually select the symbols you need. Text editors, such as Apple Pages, don’t come with such options, and in this case you would need to type the character you need directly. Go to a specific font presentation page to view the glyphs the fonts contain, and when you find the character you need, you can copy and paste it, if it has a Unicode code point.I can’t find the font I am looking for.
We publish new fonts, we revise current ones, and occasionally we will also remove some. For example, in 2023, we retired our manually hinted TrueType fonts, which we originally created for Windows XP rasterisers. In 2019, we stopped using the Std/Pro font suffixes, and replaced them by descriptive suffixes[https://www.typotheque.com/blog/standardised_language_script_suffixes], indicating language support. L suffix replaced Std, and LCG replaced the Pro suffix. Below is a list of fonts that we have modified, and which font we recommend is used instead. Fedra Mono Screen → Retired.
