The name Futura is a reference to its geometric sans serif shapes with a low contrast and even width strokes. The font was developed by Paul Renner and released commercially in the year 1927. It was a huge success immediately and soon it was incorporated into newspapers, magazines books, posters, and even onto the logos of several major corporations.
Like all fonts, Futura has evolved over the years as typographic styles have changed. The spacing and letter shapes have changed over time, but its overall aesthetic hasn't. The font was also adapted to accommodate various languages. The addition of a Latin alphabet made it more adaptable. Since then, a number of type foundries have changed their designs and updated the style.
While many modern fonts are heavily influenced by Art Deco designs, Futura is an excellent example of a design that inspires the future. Futura's clean lines and simple lines make it easy to read.

The font's geometric shapes and clean lines influenced many artists. Shepard Fairey and Jenny Holzer both feminist artists have employed it in their art. In the 1960s and 1970s, it was the color of choice for political protest art, as it was seen to represent the ideals of progress and modernism.
In the 1980s, typographers began using Futura for phototypesetting and digital typesetting. Futura's letterforms distorting in some instances. It was also commonplace for typesetting to change the shape of a letter, or alter its size. This led to many errors and distortions that were often difficult or impossible to fix. This was particularly true when ligatures were added because they required a very precise adjustment to the height of certain characters.
