What began as an investigation into the design, history and influence of Gill Sans soon became an exploration of the need to separate the art from the artist, only to discover that the two are intrinsically linked. Amid the controversy and discomfort surrounding Gill’s crimes, his work stands as a defiant act of hope. The book is presented in a way that allows the reader to physically separate the two sides of the argument, only to realise that they are forever connected, and that hope quite literally blooms from the page.
