Customer Spotlight: Room & Board

Room & Board — based in Minneapolis, Minnesota — produces distinct furniture and furnishings for nearly every room in the home. The aesthetics of the company's website very much reflect the ethos of the products they produce — both are warm, inviting, quietly elegant, and well-crafted.

Utilized in the navigation, subheads, and body copy on the Room & Board site, the Gill Sans family is a modern, legible and genial design. Even when not employed as a headline face, the Gill Sans family acts as an indispensable supporting typeface, reinforcing the infrastructure and clarity of the information presented to viewers.

Available in over 37 styles, widths, and weights – ranging from delicate light to hulking ultra bold weights — the Gill Sans family possesses an essential versatility and grace suited for many arenas of design.
