First presented by the Bauer Type Foundry in 1928,
Futura is commonly considered the major typeface development to come out
of the Constructivist orientation of the Bauhaus movement in Germany.
Paul Renner (type designer, painter, author and teacher) sketched the original drawings and based them loosely on the simple forms of circle, triangle and square. The design office at Bauer assisted him in turning these geometric forms into a sturdy, functioning type family, and over time, Renner made changes to make the Futura fonts even more legible.

Futura’s long ascenders and descenders
benefit from generous line spacing. The range of weights and styles make
it a versatile family. Futura is timelessly modern; in 1928 it was
striking, tasteful, radical — and today it continues to be a popular
typographic choice to express strength, elegance, and conceptual
clarity.
