The name Futura refers to its geometric sans serif shapes low contrast and even width strokes. The font was created by Paul Renner, and first released commercially in 1927. It was an instant success and soon made its way into newspapers, magazines, books, posters, and even the logos of a number of major corporations.
Like all fonts, Futura has evolved over the years as typographic styles have changed. The spacing and shapes of the letters have changed over time however, the overall style remains constant. The font was also adapted to accommodate different languages. The addition of the Latin alphabet made it more versatile. Since then, a number of type foundries have redrawn and updated the design.
While the majority of modern fonts are influenced by Art Deco designs, Futura is an excellent illustration of a style that is a model for the future. Its simple lines and sharp edges make it easy to read and easy to look at. its retro-futuristic style is evident in the use of it 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 its appeal to advertising as well as editorial design. Its use in both these areas helped propel it to success. Since its launch, it has become one of the most popular fonts ever designed. Its popularity prompted other designers to create similar fonts and it's still among the most popular fonts in the world today.
The font's clean lines and geometric forms led to a generation of artists. Female artists such as Jenny Holzer and the Guerilla Girls used it in their work and Shepard Fairey has also used it in his artwork. In the 1960s and 1970s, it was the medium of choice for protest art that was political and was believed to embody the idea of progress and modernism.
In the 1980s, typographers began using Futura for phototypesetting and digital typesetting. Futura's letterforms became distorting in some instances. It was also typical for typesetting to alter the shape of a letter, or to alter its size. This resulted in a variety of errors and distortions, which were sometimes difficult or impossible to correct. This was especially true when ligatures were added since they required a very precise adjustment to the height of certain characters.
