The name "Futura" refers to its geometric sans-serif shapes and low-contrast strokes, even widths. The font was created by Paul Renner, and first released commercially in 1927. It was a huge success immediately and soon made its way into magazines, newspapers, books, posters, and even onto the logos of a number of major corporations.
Futura, like all fonts, has evolved with the changing styles of typography. The spacing and shape of the letters have changed with time, but the overall aesthetic remains the same. The font was also adapted to fit with various languages. The addition of the Latin alphabet made this font more versatile. Since then, a number of type foundries have redrawn and improved the design.
Futura is a font that was inspired by the Art Deco style. Its simple lines and clean edges make it easy to read and easy on the eyes, and its retro-futuristic style is evident in the way it was used in 2001: A Space Odyssey as well as for the plaque left by the Apollo 11 astronauts on the moon.
Its ease of use and simplicity lend itself to advertising, as well as editorial design. Its use in these two areas contributed to its success. In the century since its launch, it has become one of the most well-known fonts ever created. Its popularity prompted other designers to create similar fonts and it's one of the most popular fonts around the globe today.
The font's geometric designs and clean lines influenced a whole generation of artists. Feminist artists like Jenny Holzer and the Guerilla Girls took it into their work and Shepard Fairey has also used it in his art works. In the 1960s and 1970s it was the font of choice for protest art that was political because it was thought to embody the idea of modernism and progress.
In the 1980s, typographers began using Futura for phototypesetting and digital typesetting. Futura's letterforms altered in certain cases. Typography was often able to alter the size or shape of letters. This led to many errors and distortions that were sometimes difficult or impossible to correct. This was especially true when ligatures were added because they required a precise adjustment to the height of specific characters.
