Hello, fellow type nerds!

Thank you for suggesting it, this is definitely something that I will be working on! Hope you enjoy this week’s selection,

Never Use Futura By Douglas Thomas

Douglas Thomas traces Futura from its Bauhaus-inspired origin in Paul Renner’s 1924 design, to its current role as the go-to choice for corporate work, logos, motion pictures and advertisements. Never Use Futura is illuminating, sometimes playful, reading. Not just for type nerds, but for anyone interested in how typefaces are used, take on meaning, and become a language of their own. – Sandy Frank

Quote

The truly modern is what we hold today to be timelessly perfect. – Paul Renner
