===Series 727 and 827===
Monotype also produced Series 727, in which the heavier strokes of upper-case letters were made slightly thinner.<ref name="Monotype Recorder issue 3 1956" /> This was done to produce a lighter effect in which capital letters do not stand out so much, and was particularly intended for [[German nouns|German use]], since in the German language capitals are far more common since they appear at the start of each noun.<ref name="Monotype Recorder issue 3 1956" /> Series 827 modified some letters (notably the ''R'') to correspond to their appearance in other typefaces popular in French printing. This production of what are now called [[stylistic alternates]] to suit national tastes was common at the time, and many alternates were also offered for [[Gill Sans#Development|Gill Sans]] for use in Europe.<ref name="Monotype Recorder issue 3 1956">{{cite journal|title=Modifications and extensions of a single series|journal=Monotype Recorder|date=1956|volume=40|issue=3|page=14|url=http://www.metaltype.co.uk/downloads/mr/mr_40_3.pdf|access-date=27 July 2015}}</ref>
