Futura Futuris specimen from ParaType

ParaType's Cyrillic adaptation of Paul Renner's 1927 Futura, extended by Vladimir Yefimov between 1991 and 1995 with decorative variants including shadow and volume cuts.

About

Built on Renner's founding geometric principles of circle, triangle and rectangle, the family adds a full Cyrillic character set alongside the Latin original. Twelve styles span weights from Light to Black, with condensed, cameo, shadow and volume variants broadening its display range. It remains the most complete Cyrillic version of Futura available.

Classification

A geometric sans-serif rooted in Paul Renner's 1927 Futura, built on simple circular and linear forms associated with Bauhaus and constructivist aesthetics. The Cyrillic extension places it firmly in the geometric sans tradition adapted for extended Latin and Cyrillic coverage.
