==**Saul Bass: Saul Bass was born on May 8, 1920 and died on April 25, 1996. He introduced his typefaces during the 1950's and 1960's. Saul’s typefaces were very famous during the 1950’s and 1960’s, as they were used for various film posters and advertising posters in general. What I like about his fonts is that the fonts he made have a very creative and sophisticated design towards them. They are very creative because they look as if they were cut from paper, with some people describing it as having a “cut-paper” style. I have not used Saul’s typefaces at all during school projects or any projects. If I were to use them in the future, they would probably be used for film posters and other advertising posters. **==


 * Eric Gill: Eric Gill was born on February 22, 1882 and died on November 17, 1940. He introduced most of his typefaces during the late 1920's and early 1930's, with his most successful font being the Gill Sans. **** Gill’s fonts were very famous during the late 1920’s because Gill was already a well-known sculptor and painter at the time he made the font. What I like about Gill's fonts is that most of his fonts are particularly famous for it’s design choice, which is very simplistic and easy to read, which I heavily agree with. **** I have used Gill’s typefaces on various occasions, and I use them for certain writing projects and paragraphs. I often use them because of its distinct look and feel, and they are easy to read and comprehend. **


 * Paul Renner: Paul Renner was born on August 9, 1878 and died on April 25, 1956. He introduced his fonts mostly during the 1930's. Renner’s fonts were valued during his time because Renner was partly involved with political statements, which got the attention of many people, and also because his type designs were widely liked among people. What I like about his typefaces is that they had an overall simplistic design and style towards them and didn't try to look too confusing or artsy **** . I have used Renner’s typefaces before various times, usually when writing papers/paragraphs, as his fonts are very easy to read. **
