Paul Renner
Futura Typepace, 1928
Dessau Bauhaus/Deutscher Werkbund
Paul Renner, in addition to being a typographer, also wrote about typography; his work influenced functional modernist design. Futura is an example of this; the unadorned, geometric letterforms echo the shapes of the furniture and architecture of the Bauhaus style and even the De Stijl style. It is such an influential and popular typeface that it is used to this day--even in the hallways of the art department, you're bound to see it from time to time!
