It has become one of the most well-known fonts over the 100 years since its introduction. Its popularity inspired other designers to create fonts that were similar to it, and today it remains one of the most popular fonts.
The font's geometric shapes and clean lines led to a generation of artists. Shepard Fairey and Jenny Holzer, both feminist artists, have used it in their work. In the 1960s and 1970s it was the font of choice for political protest art, as it was seen as a symbol of modernism and progress.
In the 1980s typographers started using Futura for phototypesetting and digital typesetting. This led to the letters of Futura were distorted and disjointed in some instances. Typography often changed the size or shape of letters. This could lead to a variety of errors, and the resulting distortions were sometimes difficult to correct. This was particularly relevant when adding ligatures which required very precise adjustments to the heights of certain characters.
