Paul Renner (1878-1956)

Paul Renner was a German graphic designer and typographer who was best known for the creation of the ‘Futura’ typeface. This typeface had a huge influence on the modern designs of typefaces. The ‘Futura’ typeface was released in 1927 as part of a contribution to the ‘New Frankfurt Project.’ Renner designed this font based on geometric shapes such as triangles, squares but in particular circles, with near perfect circles, shapes and near even weight.
