Typeface Tuesday: Futura

My go to fonts

“We are the music makers and we are the dreams of dreams.”

Futura

We come to the last font of the series and my favorite one to work with, Futura. Designed in 1927 by Paul Renner, influenced by the designs coming out of the Bauhaus during that period. Most san serif typefaces design up to this point were based on hand lettered signs and the written word, but Renner used geometric foundations to create futura. Its nearly perfect circular letter forms and clean lines make this one of my favorite typefaces to work with.
