A quick attempt with Gill Sans

September 25, 2009

Brennen, I know you’re about to post a bit more about Gill Sans, but here’s a quick attempt at using it as a heading typeface.

So, as well as changing the heading typeface, I’ve replaced the fleuron (which didn’t fit) with a text ornament. It doesn’t look quite right, because it’s at a low resolution, but you get the picture. The box, on the right, is a quick attempt at an Art Deco border.

Not perfect, and I’m sure something I’ve done will cause you to wince, but see what you think.

    1) Full stops in headings is unusual. (But perhaps wasn’t always so.)

    2) When I did Dare I found a nice free dingbats font called Deco Borders. Find it through http://www.dingbats-uk.org.uk.
