r Paul
German typeface designer Paul Renner designed Futura in the mid-1920’ s. Its geometric shapes were inspired by the Bauhaus, the German arts&crafts school movement. The font was commercially released in 1927 with additional weights being added in the years after.
He applied elementary geometric form to typeface constructing Futura with a triangle, compass and a T-square.
The original family had six weights, plus three condensed weights, and an inline design.
