Futura®100

Near the end of last year, TypeTogether unveiled its ambitious Futura®100 project. Then again, only a foundry like TypeTogether could carry on Paul Renner’s legacy into the future:

After 100 years with limited script availability, Paul Renner’s original design has finally been remade for our current age. Futura®100 comprises 23 scripts with six weights in each. A majority of these scripts will feature matching obliques, as well as an optical size axis for enhanced reading. With language support for more than 90% of the world’s population, Futura®100 is historically introspective, globally applicable, and stylistically comprehensive.

TypeTogether had consulted me on Vietnamese diacritics for Futura®100. It was beyond my wildest dream that I played a part in this historic typeface. Thank you and congratulations to José Scaglione, Veronika Burian, and everyone who had contributed to this project. Of course, mad kudos to Paul Renner.
