Gibson: For students

‘For less than the price of a design textbook, a student can now have a sturdy and contemporary humanist sans serif family that fits pretty much any design application, and will remain useful long after academic studies and well into a professional career in design.’

Gibson is a humanist sans serif honoring designer John Gibson, designed by Rod McDonald and digitized by Patrick Griffin and Kevin King.

And it’s available at student pricing: Eight complete fonts for $48 (that comes out to six bucks a font). With revenues benefiting The Society of Graphic Designers of Canada (GDC).
