The name "Futura" refers to its geometric sans-serif designs and low-contrast, 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 newspapers, magazines and books, as well as posters, and even the logos of a variety of major corporations.
Futura, like all fonts, has evolved with the changing typographic styles. The font's spacing and letter shapes have evolved over time, but its overall aesthetic has not. The font was also modified to fit with various languages. The addition of the Latin alphabet made this font more adaptable. Since then, many type foundries have revised and updated the style.
Futura is a font that has been inspired by the Art Deco style. Futura's clean lines and simple lines make it easy to read. Its retro-futuristic look is reflected by its use in 2001: A Space Odyssey and the inscription left on the moon by the Apollo 11 astronauts.
Its simplicity and legibility lend it to advertising, as well as editorial design. Its use in both these fields helped to bring it to prominence. In the past century since its launch it has grown to become one of the most popular fonts ever created. Its popularity inspired other designers to create similar fonts, and it's still one of the most popular fonts around the globe 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 employed it in their art. In the 1960s and 1970s it was the medium of choice for protest art that was political because it was thought as a symbol of progress and modernism.
In the 1980s, typographers began using Futura for phototypesetting and digital typesetting. Due to this, the letterforms of Futura were distorted and disjointed in some instances. It was also common to use typesetting to alter the shape of a letter, or alter its size. This caused many mistakes and distortions that were often difficult or impossible to fix. This was particularly true when ligatures were introduced since they required a precise adjustment to the height of particular characters.
