Futura
The Stovax Futura 5 multifuel and wood burning stove is DEFRA exempt from Smoke Control Areas, Eco-design Plus ready. It features a large expansive viewing window and stylish stainless steel air control. This contemporary design is perfect for traditional and modern homes alike. It also has a state-of-the art convector heating system that incorporates heat shields to maximize the amount of heat reflected back into the room, and a short distance to combustibles for optimum efficiency.
The name "Futura" refers to its geometric sans-serif shapes and low-contrast, even width strokes. The font was designed by Paul Renner, and first commercially released in 1927. It became a massive hit and soon found its ways into newspapers, magazines and books, and also on posters and logos of a variety of major corporations.
Like all fonts, Futura has evolved over the years as styles of typography have changed. The spacing and letter shapes have evolved over time, but its overall aesthetic hasn't. The font was also adapted to suit various languages. The addition of the Latin alphabet made this font more adaptable. Since then, a number of type foundries have updated and redrawn the design.
While many contemporary fonts are heavily influenced by Art Deco designs, Futura is truly an illustration of a style that has a positive influence on the future. Futura's simple lines and clean lines make it easy to read. The retro-futuristic style is evident by its appearance in 2001: A Space Odyssey and the inscription left on the moon by the Apollo 11 astronauts.
Its legibility and simplicity lent it to advertising, as well as editorial design. Its use in these two fields has contributed to its popularity. In the past century since its release it has become one of the most popular fonts ever designed. Its popularity led other designers to create fonts that were similar to it, and even today it remains one of the most used fonts.
The font's geometric shapes and clean lines influenced an entire 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 in political protest art since it was believed to represent the concept of modernism and progress.
In the 1980s, typographers started to utilize Futura to do digital typesetting and phototypesetting. Futura's letterforms became altered in certain cases. Typography was often able to alter the size or shape of letters. This resulted in a variety of errors and distortions that were sometimes difficult or impossible to fix. This was particularly relevant when adding ligatures which required very precise adjustments to the heights of certain characters.
