The name "Futura" refers to its geometric sans-serif forms and low-contrast, even width strokes. The font was designed by Paul Renner and released commercially in the year 1927. It was a huge success immediately and soon found its way into magazines, newspapers and books, and also on posters and logos of a variety of major corporations.
Like all fonts, Futura has evolved over the years as styles of typography have changed. The spacing and shapes of the letters have changed over time however the overall design remains constant. The font has also been altered to work with a variety of languages. The addition of the Latin alphabet made this font more versatile. Since then, many type foundries have upgraded and revised the design.
While the majority of modern fonts are influenced by Art Deco designs, Futura is an excellent illustration of a style that inspires the future. Futura's simple lines and clean lines make it easy to read. Its retro-futuristic look is evident by its appearance in 2001: A Space Odyssey and the inscription placed on the moon by the Apollo 11 astronauts.
Its simplicity and accessibility made it ideal for both advertising and editorial design. Its use in these two fields contributed to its popularity. understanding has become one of the most well-known fonts over the past 100 years since its introduction. Its popularity prompted other designers to create similar fonts and it's one of the most widely used in the world in the present.
The font's clean lines and geometric forms inspired a generation of artists. Feminist artists such as Jenny Holzer and the Guerilla Girls used it in their work, and Shepard Fairey has also used it in his artwork. In the 1960s and 1970s it was the font of choice for protest art that was political, as it was seen to represent the ideals of modernism and progress.
In the 1980s, typographers began to utilize Futura for digital typesetting and phototypesetting. Futura's letterforms became distorting in some instances. Typography often changed the size or shape of letters. This caused many mistakes and distortions that were often difficult or impossible to fix. This was especially true when adding ligatures, which required precise adjustments to the heights of specific characters.
