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 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’

Design Considerations

I have two overall theme ideas, geometric shapes and space.

Geometric shapes will follow the Bauhaus style and primary colours.

Simple and effective. I want to take it back to 1969.

The next steps

Conclude which theme I follow, maybe both at once.

Create the final front cover Look at a diverse range of materials I

could use. Start thinking about a way to link the

theme through the whole specimen book
