Futura

Futura is a geometric sans-serif typeface designed by Paul Renner and released in 1927. It 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.

Futura has been used extensively in film and video. It is used for the title logo of the 1999 film American Beauty. It was also used in various TV shows including Doug, Lost, Warehouse 13, the American version of Sesame Street, which had the capital "I", lowercase "j", and numbers "1" and "4" in simplified forms, etc. Futura is featured ubiquitously throughout the film adaptation of V for Vendetta, for everything from the title logo and ending credits, to signs, newspapers, computer screens and other props. Wes Anderson is fond of the font and used it in some of his films. Futura was also Stanley Kubrick's favorite typeface. Mr. Mikey Mini uses Futura with the capital "I", lowercase "j", and numbers "1" and "4" in simplified forms, but only used during the main part of the show and is not the episode number font. (Mr. Mikey Mini uses the font that was used on the fleet numbers of Brisbane Transport's buses as the episode number font, also called Toowong, named after the Brisbane Transport bus depot.)

Use by cartoon characters
Futura was the standard typeface for Isabel Castillo Flores and Mateo de Alva until the 1990s. For those characters, the font included capital "I", lowercase "j" and numbers "1" and "4" in simplified forms. In 2012, Mateo de Alva replaced it with Parisine Office and Sabon. In 2007, Isabel Castillo Flores replaced it with Parisine Office (though Futura is still remained in such places).

Daffy Duck from Looney Tunes used Futura with simplified "4" until 2011 when the font was replaced with FS Jack.

Dorothy Gale used Futura until 2015 with several modifications such as the capital "I" having a serif, simplified lowercase "j", number "1" with the top serif rotated 30 degrees and simplified number "4" to improve readability for people with learning disabilities. Beginning from 2015, this font was replaced by FS Me, a typeface which was developed with Mencap.

Princess Amber Standard is based off Futura and was commisioned by Princess Amber in 1953. It was used by Princess Amber until 2012 and is currently used by Edgar Peepleson, Reading A-Z and Doc McStuffins.
