The Futura font has been used in architectural signs and company logos for over 100 years. The font family consists of five weights (near black, book, medium-thin, thin, and light) with matching oblique versions.
It is characterized by its clean lines and lack of decorative features.
The font’s name comes from the word “futurism,” meaning it’s a typeface for the future. It also contributed to the New Frankfurt project, which has remained popular in graphic design for more than 80 years. It is one of the most popular typefaces of the 20th century. In the past, Renner has made the Futura fonts even better, so that they are even more clear. Using Bauer’s design office, he was able to turn these geometric shapes into a family of sturdy, active typefaces. The original drawings were sketched by Paul Renner and based on simple shapes such as circles, triangles, and squares. It is thought to be the most important typeface to come out of the Bauhaus movement in Germany. The Futura font is a neo-grotesque sans-serif typeface designed in 1927 by Paul Renner and presented by the Bauer Type Foundry in 1928.
