German type designer Paul Renner first started creating Futura in 1924. He was inspired by the Bauhaus design style, and his initial design (Architype Renner) combined geometric character alternatives and old style-figures. In 1927, commissioned by the Bauer type foundry, Futura was commercially released in light, regular, and bold weights. Originally, Futura was intended to be used for body text for books, but in the 1950’s and 1960’s it was commonly used in headlines and subheads in advertising.

In 1930, the Futura typeface family grew to include semi-bold, bold condensed, light oblique and regular oblique weights, with a book weight added in 1932. Other designers have since added to the Futura family, which now includes over 20 faces.
5 In 1969, Futura was chosen as the typeface for the commemorative plaque to be left on the moon by the Apollo 11 astronauts. Since it’s creation almost 90 years ago, Futura has been continuously used by brands such as Volkswagen, Ikea and Absolut Vodka. Filmmakers Wes Anderson and Stanley Kubrick also use Futura extensively throughout their films.
