FUTURA Max Buch

Why Futura? I love the geometric style Interested in the Bauhaus movement Its a font I have used a lot in the past I like San Serif fonts

Who designed Futura? It was designed by Paul Renner in 1927 He was a German, Graphic Designer, Typographer, Type Designer, Painter and Teacher. He also designed books for the Munich Publishing trade.

Characteristics of Futura is a geometric san-serif typeface. Its based on geometric shapes Letters based on near perfect circles, triangles and squares. ‘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’

Where is Futura found today?

Design Considerations I have two theme ideas, geometric shapes and space. Space is simple colour schemes. Geometric shapes will follow the Bauhaus style and primary colours. Simple and effective. I also want to show a mix of old and new

The next steps Conclude which theme I follow, maybe both at once. Create an actual front cover Look at diverse range of materials I could use. Start thinking about a way to link theme through the whole specimen book Content of the specimen book
