The name "Futura" refers to its geometric sans-serif forms and low-contrast strokes, even widths. The font was developed by Paul Renner and released commercially in 1927. It was a huge success immediately and soon found its way into newspapers, magazines books, posters, and even the logos of several major corporations.
Futura like every font, has changed with the evolution of typographic styles. The font's spacing and letter shapes have changed over time but its overall style has not. The font has also been modified to work with various languages. The addition of a Latin alphabet made it more flexible. Since then, a number of type foundries have upgraded and redrawn the design.
While many modern fonts are heavily influenced by Art Deco designs, Futura is an excellent illustration of a style that has a positive influence on the future. Futura's clean lines and simple lines make it easy to read. Its retro-futuristic look is evident in its use in 2001: A Space Odyssey and the inscription placed on the moon by the Apollo 11 astronauts.
Its legibility and simplicity lent itself to advertising, as well as editorial design. Its use in both these fields helped to make it a success. In the century since its introduction it has become one of the most popular 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 simple lines and geometric shapes led to a generation of artists. Feminist artists like Jenny Holzer and the Guerilla Girls embraced it in their work as well as Shepard Fairey has also used it in his artwork. In talks about it and 1970s, it was the medium of choice for political protest art because it was thought as a symbol of modernism and progress.
In the 1980s, typographers began using Futura for phototypesetting and digital typesetting. Futura's letterforms became distorting in some instances. Typography often changed the size or shape of letters. This caused many mistakes and distortions that were sometimes difficult or impossible to fix. This was especially true when adding ligatures, which required precise adjustments to the heights of certain characters.
