Futura

About "Futura"

Futura is a geometric sans-serif typeface designed by Paul Renner and released in 1927.

With its minimalistic forms, rigid geometry, and lack of ornamentation, it became emblematic of the aesthetics and ideals of early 20th century modernism and the Bauhaus movement.

Initially met with controversy, it went on to become one of the most successful and influential typefaces of the century.

Extensive Futura families are offered by modern type foundries.

Due to its versatility and timeless appeal, Futura continues to be widely used for print, digital, motion graphics and environmental design needing a striking, contemporary look with a nod to history.
