| Description: |
Paul Renner (1878-1956) was a painter, typographer, typeface designer and teacher. Between 1908 and 1917 he designed thousands of books for Munich publishers in a refined traditional style. In the early 1920s he began to support the modern styles of architecture and typography, becoming a leading proponent of the New Typography.
Renner is best known for designing the typeface Futura, which became a standard tool for the New Typography, and remains a popular typeface today.
Futura Next combines the established Futura design with new elements offering a contemporary look and feel and added legibility for screens and displays.
Futura Next is the new main stream font, based upon proven ND technology and providing a large number of extremely useful typographic features.
Futura does give a restful, almost bland impression, which accords with Renner's objectives. Futura seems classical, not only due to the form of its capitals, but also to the open, wide forms of the geometrical small letters. The typeface relies on notions of classical, yet contemporary form, - harmony and evenness of texture.
In 1997 the Visualogik Design Staff, headed by Marie-Thrse Koreman, entered into the project of creating a digital version of Futura, based upon new materials and contemporary design insights.
Undoubtedly, the resulting Futura ND is the most genuine and powerful Futura font on the market, hence digitized by the very originals from the Bauersche Giesserei and optimized for use on digital devices by Visualogik specialists.
Futura ND is available in a vast variety of confections and formats from PostScript Type1 format with a single character set up to proprietary featured OpenType Pro fonts with complete Unicode support for paneuropean and latin based writing systems.
In many corporate identies and brand marks Futura plays the key role. For those and other special purposes customized Futura ND font confections and licences are available through Neufville's Corporatype¨ Programme.
Implementation and licences for any application or device, ranging from printer firmware to digital broadcasting, mobile devices and web apps can be obtained through Neufville's Custom Licensing Programme.
Futura ND has many typographical enhancements and extras:
