Good eye. The shoulder is more like a shoulder than a join.And Christapher, of a few posts before, I think the humanism of Gil Sans comes from the complexity of the curves, it is more inviting than earlier, simpler geometric sans serifs. There have actually been two separate humanist eras, that of the serifs and that of the sans serifs, which took place in the mid to late 1400s and 1900s respectively. Thank you everyone for your positivity!
