Futura Type Specimen

My idea here is to carry out the historical influences of Futura, by looking at how the type can sit with a strong influence, being the Bauhaus school of art. Therefore, sticking to the notion of ‘form follows function’ each page looks at geometry, form and the type itself to explore how it was created and the various features of the type. The colour throughout the booklet has been desaturated to suit this style, and further let the type stand out.

With such a great emphasis of form within Futura, this is a strong focal point throughout exploring a geometrical design that falls in line with Bauhaus. Ultimately, the design is an intentional look back at the sources of it’s creation, as well as exploring it’s re fined and geometrical form, whilst maintaining a well type set specimen to contain the information.
