Humanist Sans Serif typefaces do not have serifs and are the most calligraphic of the sans-serif typeface group. This is apparent in
the variation of stroke widths.
Typefaces in this classification tend to be more legible than other sans-serif typefaces, and can be easily and comfortably read as bodies of text.
The first Humanist Sans Serif typefaces appeared in the
early 20th century.
One noteworthy typographer of this category is Eric Gill, who designed Gill Sans in 1928.
