- Description
- Futura is a groundbreaking geometric sans-serif typeface designed by Paul Renner and released in 1927. Based on geometric shapes, especially the circle, it reflects the spirit of Bauhaus design style. Despite not being directly associated with the Bauhaus movement, Futura shares many of its principles, advocating for modern models instead of reviving previous designs. The typeface features near-perfect circles, triangles, and squares as well as strokes of even weight. Lowercase letters have tall ascenders that rise above the cap line, while the 'a' and 'g' use nearly circular, single-storey forms. Futura was developed as a contribution to the New Frankfurt project, aiming to promote simplicity, modernism, and industrialization.
