The repetition of simple geometric shapes forms a daily part of our environment. Throughout the 20th century and into the 21st typefaces whose designs have taken advantage of this have remained popular. But finding exactly the right mood can be tricky.

Designer: Paul Renner, 1936
The FuturaŽ Font Family is part of the Assorted Collection.

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. Its 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. Typefaces in the same style like Futura are: Avenir, Metromedium, Neuzeit Grotesk,
