The name Futura refers to its geometric sans serif shapes, low contrast and even width strokes. The font was created by Paul Renner, and first commercially released in 1927. It was an instant success, and soon made its way into magazines, newspapers books, posters, and even onto the logos of a number of large corporations.
Futura, like all fonts has evolved with the changing styles of typography. The spacing and shape of the letters have changed over time, but the overall aesthetic remains constant. The font was also modified to accommodate different languages. The addition of the Latin alphabet made it more adaptable. Since then, many type foundries have updated and revised the style.
While many contemporary fonts are influenced by Art Deco designs, Futura is an excellent illustration of a style that has a positive influence on the future. Futura's simple lines and clean lines make it easy to read. The retro-futuristic style is evident by its appearance in 2001: A Space Odyssey, and the plaque left on the moon by the Apollo 11 astronauts.
Its simplicity and legibility makes it perfect for editorial and advertising design. Its use in these two fields contributed to its popularity. In the past century since its introduction it has grown to become one of the most well-known fonts ever created. The popularity of the font inspired other designers to create similar fonts and it's still one of the most widely used in the world in the present.
The font's geometric shapes and clean lines led to a generation of artists. Shepard Fairey and Jenny Holzer both feminist artists have used it in their art. In the 1960s and 1970s it was the color of choice for protest art that was political, as it was seen to embody the idea of modernism and progress.
In the 1980s typographers started using Futura for phototypesetting and digital typesetting. Futura's letterforms altered in certain cases. It was also commonplace to use typesetting to alter the shape of a letter, or to alter its size. This caused a lot of errors, and the resulting distortions were sometimes difficult to correct. This was particularly relevant when adding ligatures which required very precise adjustments to the heights of specific characters.
