Font of the Week – Futura

Our font of the week this week is Futura. We’ve all seen this font, and I’m betting we’ve all used it at some point in our careers, but how much do we actually know about it? Well, it is defined as a ‘geometric sans-serif’ and was designed in 1927 by Paul Renner.

What we love about this typeface is its broad range of everyday uses and also how cool it looks when written in all caps. To learn more about Futura you can visit a number of foundry websites, some are listed below:
