MegaMegaTypeType
ParaType's adaptation of Paul Renner's landmark 1927 geometric sans, extended to cover Cyrillic script across 28 styles including obliques and condensed cuts.
About
Futura PT builds on Renner's original geometric construction – near-circular bowls, uniform strokes and a single-storey 'a' – while adding Cyrillic support developed at ParaType for Russian-language use. The family spans eight weights from Thin to Black with matching obliques, plus a condensed subfamily, totalling 28 styles. It remains one of the most widely deployed geometric sans-serifs in both Latin and Cyrillic typographic contexts.
Classification
A geometric sans-serif rooted in Paul Renner's original Futura (1927), adapted and extended by ParaType. Its forms are based on near-perfect geometric shapes – circles, triangles and rectangles – with near-uniform stroke width and minimal humanist variation.
