Futura
The classic geometric sans serif, built from circle, square and triangle.
Paul Renner drew Futura in the mid-1920s, and it was issued in 1927. The name means the future, and the typeface became a symbol of the new typography.
Futura has been used on everything from posters to the plaque left on the Moon in 1969. Here it is shown only as our own drawing of the letters.
