The name Futura refers to its geometric sans serif designs with a low contrast and even width strokes. The font was created by Paul Renner and released commercially in 1927. It became a massive hit and soon found its ways into magazines, newspapers and books, as well as on posters and logos of many large corporations.
Like all fonts, Futura has evolved over the years as styles of typography have changed. The spacing and shapes of the letters have changed over time however the overall design remains constant. The font was also modified to suit various languages. The addition of a Latin alphabet made it more versatile. Since then, many type foundries have changed their designs and improved the style.
Futura is an edgy font that has been inspired by the Art Deco style. Futura's clean lines and simple lines make it easy to read. Its retro-futuristic look is evident in its use in 2001: A Space Odyssey and the inscription left on the moon by the Apollo 11 astronauts.
Its legibility and simplicity lent itself to advertising, as well as editorial design. Its use in these two fields contributed to its success. Since its release it has grown to become one of the most popular fonts ever designed. Its popularity prompted other designers to create similar fonts and it's still one of the most popular fonts around the globe in the present.
The font's clean lines and geometric forms led to a generation of artists. Shepard Fairey and Jenny Holzer both feminist artists have employed it in their work. In the 1960s & 1970s, it became the preferred font in political protest art because it was believed to represent the concept of modernism and progress.
In the 1980s typographers started using Futura for phototypesetting and digital typesetting. Because of this, the letterforms of Futura were distorted and disjointed in some instances. It was also commonplace for typesetting to alter the shape of a letter, or change its size. This could lead to a variety of errors, and the resulting distortions were often difficult to rectify. This was especially the case when incorporating ligatures, which required precise adjustments to the heights of specific characters.
Vogue
When Madonna sings, "Come on, vogue let your body move to the beat", she is not only promoting her hit song but also a style of dance that has become a part of pop culture. For many the act of voguing is a sign of self-identity and freedom. Others use it to defy societal norms and empower communities that are marginalized. Voguing is inextricably linked to fashion, music, and subcultures and has been influenced by the styles of beauty and dance from all over the world.
Since its first edition which was published in 1892, Vogue has been at the forefront of fashion and has established itself as an international authority on innovative images, excellent journalism, and identifying new talent. The magazine has been a champion of diversity and inclusiveness in its coverage and is an iconic brand in the fashion industry. Vogue is now a multiplatform magazine that views the world from the perspective of fashion.
Conde Nast publishes Vogue, which is a magazine that covers fashion news and stories on haute couture beauty and fashion, as well as culture and living. Anna Wintour is the current editor-in-chief of American Vogue. Other international editors include Emmanuelle Alt, Franca Sozzani, Alexandra Shulman and Aliona Dóletskaya. The company also publishes Teen Vogue in the United States, a version aimed at girls in the teen years. South Korea and Australia also publish a Vogue magazine. Vogue Patterns is a line of women's home sewing patterns that are owned by the company.
It was established in 1892, and the magazine initially focused on high society and ritual life. It first appeared as a weekly newspaper and then became a monthly publication and then an annual publication in 1909. Conde Nast purchased the magazine in 1916, and redesigned it into a fashion bible for women.
The Vogue of today is aware of its position in the world and is able to engage its readers with articles that explore the political and social issues that are of interest to readers. British Vogue for instance has included NHS workers on the cover during the pandemic of 2022.
Yale digital humanists and researchers are digging into the rich digital record of Vogue with a program called Bookworm, which is similar to Google Ngrams. It analyzes the use of words such as "frock" and "dress" in the magazine over time and under different editors. The results let researchers follow the shifts in the cultural norms and concepts by studying the evolution of vocabulary.
