In 1927, he designed the Futura typeface, which became one of the most successful and most-used types of the 20th century.<br \/>\nAfter his painting studies in Berlin, Munich and Karlsruhe, from 1925 to 1926 he taught advertising graphics and typography at the Frankfurt art school.<br \/>\nFrom 1926 he led the professional training graphic schools in Munich where in 1927 he became director.<br \/>\nRenner was a prominent member of the Deutscher Werkbund (German Work Federation).<br \/>\nTwo of his major texts are Typografie als Kunst (Typography as Art) and Die Kunst der Typographie (The Art of Typography) and he created a new set of guidelines for good book design.<br \/>\nRenner was a friend of the eminent German typographer Jan Tschichold and a key participant in the heated ideological and artistic debates of that time.<br \/>\nEven before 1932, Renner made his opposition to the Nazis very clear, notably in his book \u201cKulturbolschewismus?\u201d (Cultural Bolshevism?). He was unable to find a German publisher, so it was published by his Swiss friend Eugen Rentsch.<br \/>\nAfter the Nazis seized power in March 1933, Paul was arrested and dismissed from his post in Munich in 1933, and subsequently he emigrated to Switzerland.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-722 aligncenter inner-image\" src=\"https:\/\/progettistiaffini.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/futura-368x500.jpg\" alt=\"Font Futura\" width=\"40%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/progettistiaffini.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/futura-368x500.jpg 368w, https:\/\/progettistiaffini.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/futura.jpg 589w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 368px) 100vw, 368px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"dec-text\">FONT FUTURA<\/h3>\n<p>Futura is a geometric sans-serif typeface designed by Paul Renner and released in 1927.<br \/>\nIt was designed as a contribution on the New Frankfurt-project. It is based on geometric shapes, especially the circle, similar in spirit to the Bauhaus design style of the period.<br \/>\nIt was developed as a typeface by the Bauer Type Foundry, in competition with Ludwig &amp; Mayer&#8217;s Erbar typeface of 1926.<br \/>\nAlthough Renner was not associated with the Bauhaus, he shared many of its idioms and believed that a modern typeface should express modern models, rather than be a revival of a previous design. Renner&#8217;s design rejected the approach of most previous sans-serif designs (now often called grotesques), which were based on the models of signpainting, condensed lettering and nineteenth-century serif typefaces, in favor of simple geometric forms: near-perfect circles, triangles and squares. It is based on strokes of near-even weight, which are low in contrast.<br \/>\nFutura was extensively marketed by Bauer and its American distribution arm by brochure as capturing the spirit of modernity, using the German slogan &#8220;die Schrift unserer Zeit&#8221; (&#8220;the typeface of our time&#8221;) and in English &#8220;the typeface of today and tomorrow&#8221;. It has remained popular since.<br \/>\nThe design of Futura avoids the decorative, eliminating nonessential elements, but makes subtle departures from pure geometric designs that allow the letterforms to seem balanced.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: Wikipedia<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(August 9, 1878 \u2013 April 25, 1956) He was a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1192,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1352","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
