Futura is my favorite typeface and it amazes me that it came out of a art period. It never dawned on me as much that typefaces themselves were directly influenced by the art movements that were going on amoung them. If Modernism never happend would Futura ever of happend would I not have my favorite typeface to design with now? Paul Shoetmais deffinietly an inspiration to me as a designer his work is amazing and he would have contiued to be amazing if it wasn't for the Nazis it makes me very sad that his life ended so short. The use of propaganda images and typograhy is amazing to me. It only proves more how typography can have a emotional effect on people. What would the difference have been if the NAZI party didnt have as good propaganda posters?
