It was a huge success immediately and soon found its way into newspapers, magazines and books, and also onto posters and the logos of many major corporations.
Futura, like all fonts, has changed with the evolution of typographic styles. The spacing and shapes of the letters have changed over time however the overall design remains constant. The font has also been adapted to work with various languages. The addition of a Latin alphabet made it more adaptable. Since then, a number of type foundries have changed their designs and improved the style.
Futura is a font that was inspired by the Art Deco style. Its simple lines and clean edges make it easy to read and easy on the eyes, and its retro-futuristic look is evident in the fact that it was used in 2001: A Space Odyssey and also for the memorial plaque left by the Apollo 11 astronauts on the moon.

It has become one the most well-known fonts over the past 100 years since its launch. Its popularity inspired other designers to create similar fonts, and it's still one of the most widely used around the globe today.
The font's geometric shapes and clean lines inspired a generation of artists. Shepard Fairey and Jenny Holzer, both feminist artists, have employed it in their art. In the 1960s and 1970s, it was the medium of choice for political protest art and was believed to represent the ideals of progress and modernism.
In the 1980s, typographers began utilize Futura to do digital typesetting and phototypesetting. Due to this, the letters of Futura were distorted and disjointed in some instances. Typography often changed the size or shape of letters. This led to many errors and distortions that were sometimes difficult or impossible to fix. This was especially true when adding ligatures, which required precise adjustments to the heights of specific characters.
