Joanna (typeface)
Joanna is a serif typeface designed by Eric Gill (1882–1940) in the period 1930–31, and named for one of his daughters. Gill chose Joanna for setting '' An Essay on Typography,'' a book by Gill on his thoughts on typography, typesetting, and page design. He described it as "a book face free from all fancy business". Design Joanna is based on the traditional old-style serif model of the Renaissance. However, the spare, sharp squared serifs and minimal contrast of strokes give the design a 20th-century modernist feeling, reminiscent of the Didone and slab serifs of the nineteenth century but far lighter than most typefaces of this genre. This is very similar to Gill's earlier typeface Solus, also rather light and monoline with horizontal serifs similar to Monotype's pre-existing Bodoni 135 typeface. (Solus was never particularly popular, perhaps because it did not have an italic.) Many of the letter forms of Joanna are characteristic of Gill's preferences, for example the la ...
