The History of Futura
Even if you don't realize it, you've probably seen the font Futura many times. The sharp, geometrical typeface has become a favorite among directors Stanley Kubrick and Wes Anderson, as well as artist Barbra Kruger. But the German-born type had a pretty rough beginning. Designed by Paul Renner in 1927, the font was first attacked by Hitler and the Nazi regime after its creator was arrested and exiled for his anti-Nazi essay. After the war, the typeface of the future earned world-wide attention when it was used on Apollo 11 to go where no man had gone before.
