Whilst Gill was a deeply religious man, largely following the Roman Catholic faith, his beliefs and practices were by no means orthodox. His personal diaries describe his sexual activity in great detail including the fact that Gill sexually abused his own children, had an incestuous relationship with his sister and performed sexual acts on his dog. This aspect of Gill’s life was little known until publication of the 1989 biography by Fiona MacCarthy. Robert Speaight’s earlier biography mentioned none of it.

Futura Domus is the first of a series of experiments launched by Electronest investigating creative coding to produce typefaces.
Futura Domus simplifiée is based on the degradation of shapes:
straightening vectors and removing points.
Futura Domus combinée associates degraded with original glyphs forms.
* The original work has been published as a contribution to Domus Magazine in september 2008.
* A couple of reflection around geometric simplifications and legibility
