Gill Serif Regular v.4

Description

Gill Serif Regular (v.4)
____________________________________

Gill Sans was designed by Eric Gill in 1926. Originally I disliked the typeface as it was just too odd. Eventually that's exactly why I started to love the typeface (except for the tittles in the darkest weights, actually).

I've been wishing for a companion to Gill Sans. There doesn't seem to be one so I decided to give it a go myself. My primary objective is not necessarily to create a typeface to work with Gill Sans—though I'm sure they will work excellent together–but just to capture the same quirky style in a serif typeface.

I'm not yet sure about the 'g' and particularly 'a'. Any thoughts?
