“Futura” by Paul Renner
Typeface Poster
The Futura typeface was designed by graphic designer Paul Renner as part of the "New Frankfurt" mega construction project. Since its publication in Frankfurt am Main in 1927, it quickly became an international bestseller and made its way from the major cities to the moon. Futura is regarded as a document of the avant-garde zeitgeist of the 1920s. The Futura typeface was designed by graphic designer Paul Renner as part of the "New Frankfurt" mega construction project.

In 1969, the crew of Apollo 11 left behind a silver plaque during the historic moon landing. Set in the Futura font, the plaque reads:
"Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon. July 1969, A.D. We came in peace for all mankind"
