FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Prague, Czech Republic, 15 September, 2025 — To mark the centennial release of Futura®, Paul Renner’s iconic typeface embodying European optimism in the early 20th century, the independent type foundry TypeTogether announces Futura®100 — an extensive typeface family that reinterprets this design classic for today. Featuring 23 global scripts, the project showcases the expertise and best practices of TypeTogether’s international team of specialists and researchers not only in the field of type design and typography but also linguistics, semantics, and graphic design.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Over the course of two years, TypeTogether worked in collaboration with Bauer Types type foundry to conduct extensive research at various cultural institutions to accurately revive and honour Renner’s original intention with the design. The original sources remain stunning even a century later. “When I examined the original Futura® letterpress prints at six point size, the experience profoundly changed my perception of the family because I was struck by how beautiful and legible the typeface was,” said Veronika Burian, the co-founder and type director at TypeTogether.
While Futura®100 remains faithful to the constructed shapes and warm spirit of the original typeface, the main aim of the project is to reflect global language and script diversity — it features 23 scripts and provides language support for more than 90% of the world’s population. In addition to meeting the complex needs of multiscript branding, Futura®100 will ensure the design’s alignment with contemporary digital and print publishing requirements. The typeface has been optimised for readability, worldwide usability, and flexibility across a variety of devices and media.
The project is comprised of two phases. In the first phase, TypeTogether has released Futura®100 with script support for Arabic, Armenian, Cyrillic, Georgian, Greek, Hebrew, Khmer, Lao, Latin, Myanmar, PanAfrican Latin, and Thai. When the project is completed at the end of 2026, support will also be provided for major Indic scripts as well as Simplified Chinese and Hangul. With such extensive coverage, Futura®100 will become one of the few truly global typefaces and be a great fit for designers, agencies, and brands with multinational commitments.
Renner’s original Futura typeface was a product of the modernist movement a century ago, and Futura®100 is, in the best sense of the phrase, a reflection of today’s global and multicultural society. “Futura® stands as the progenitor of geometric sans serifs — an iconic design that was remarkable for its era. With Futura®100, we push its typographic boundaries into the new millennium,” said Veronika Burian. “Futura®100 emerges from the collaboration of global voices, designed for the exchanges among them,” said José Scaglione, the co-founder of TypeTogether type foundry. “It is a product of multicultural synergy, not just a response to it.”
