Futura Now
Shortlist / Type Design / Multi-Style / 2021
One of the most versatile typefaces, the Futura family has been used by countless brands since it was designed by Paul Renner 90 years ago. Still, recent versions of Futura have struggled to adapt to digital uses, with an awkward range of weights and problematic spacing. Futura Now recaptures the warmth of Renner's original designs and expands the family to meet today's digital-first demands. It includes 102 styles, five variable fonts, with over 600 characters, including 72 entirely new family members and support for 89 languages.
