The 8-font family is available at token pricing <em>(<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">only $48 for all eight weights!<\/span>)<\/em> to make it especially affordable for design students. For less than the price of a design textbook, a student can now have a sturdy and contemporary humanist sans serif family that fits pretty much any design application, and will remain useful long after academic studies and well into a professional career in design.<\/p>\n<p>All the revenues from the sale of Gibson are being donated to the  GDC, where they will be allocated to a variety of programs aiming to  improve the creative arts and elevate design education in Canada.
