^^ niiiiiice
Futura was pretty rare post-war, wasn't it? - you do see it used in A LOT of popular design from this era, though (including some stuff on this thread) - especially on paperbacks and posters. I was unaware that it was as old as the 20's. I guess I associate a lot of prewar design with Art Deco-style typefaces, but I do not profess to be an expert on the subject (even though I am a g. designer by trade lol).
I would love to read a comprehensive history of typography from the industrial age onward, if such a book exists (recommendations plz).

xp to Pillbox, unless I'm missing, there is no Futura anywhere on this thread except for the VW advert, which is timelessly VW rather than particularly post-war. Despite being over 80 years old, Futura was a pretty rare sight outside of VW adverts until relatively recently (like last 15 years).

the treumann font looks (New?) Century Schoolbook at a heavy weight, probably extra black.
― caek, Tuesday, 14 April 2009 17:59 (seventeen years ago)
none of the digitized versions seem to have CS black though : (
unless I'm missing, there is no Futura anywhere on this thread except for the VW advert, which is timelessly VW rather than particularly post-war. The small print in the IBM advert and "The Ralph M Parsons Company" is def Futura. If MIT Symphony & Riddles in Mathematics aren't they are awfully close (if not, any idea what the actual font used in those is?) as are the typefaces on the German designs. Futura was also all over pulp paperbacks from this time-period (50s mainly).
Futura was a pretty rare sight outside of VW adverts until relatively recently (like last 15 years). - I love the Futura STD series and use it regularly.
― SORCEROUSES..roll on stage! (Pillbox), Tuesday, 14 April 2009 18:06 (seventeen years ago)
The small print in the IBM advert - definitely not Futura, look at the lower case "a".
The Ralph M Parsons Company - not Futura (look at the tops of the upper case "M", Futura's are points, those are flat)
MIT and the Penguin are both Swiss Grotesks, the Penguin is Helvetica, not sure about the MIT one. Again, look at the lower case a.
I love the Futura STD series and use it regularly.
Sure. It's everywhere now. I'm just saying it was rare in the 1950s and 60s. It's an archetypal pre-war font that has become popular again in the last few years.

― caek, Tuesday, 14 April 2009 18:14 (seventeen years ago)
Wow, yeah, you're right: The lower-case "a" is the giveaway. You've got to admit, though, the similarities are remarkable. Any idea what the actual font on the IBM/Parsons adverts is?
― SORCEROUSES..roll on stage! (Pillbox), Tuesday, 14 April 2009 18:14 (seventeen years ago)
It's just Helvetica or something.
There are vague similarities in the sense that futura and the grotesks are sans serif, but futura is a very distinctive geometric font ("o", bowl of "a", all curves, etc. are perfect circle sections), which is very far from true of helvetica, akzidenz, etc. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sans-serif#Classification.
― caek, Tuesday, 14 April 2009 18:19 (seventeen years ago)
Yeah, I forget about old-school Helvetica b/c I've been using Helvetica Neue for so long that that is what I picture when I think "Helvetica" these days. I'm a bit envious of your typography knowledge, caek. I should take a class or something (again, if there are any books on the subject you would recommend..)

Oh Clarendon. Talk about thin line between love and hate. Can you still think a font is attractive when it's on the side of half the buses in the city advertising Starbucks' new instant coffee? Or in the TV ad for Madea Goes to Jail? (Really there are a million examples... it's fucking everywhere. It was four years ago, but now it's really out of hand.)

I think it's very hard to popularise newer fonts tho because of the ubiquity and recognisability of the old standards.
It's good really that it's not so easy to get hold of decent stylish fonts tho (without paying).
I need to try making my own, I like creating characters/letter forms in Illustrator. Fontographer still the app of choice?

not sure about this. while there was an insane explosion of font styles in the earlier part of the 20th century that i doubt we'll ever see again - the 90's had a pretty decent typography revolution of it's own. stuff like David Carson and his ilk really challenged all traditional approaches to typsetting we'd seen up until then. we did have an explosion of new phonts too with desktop publishing making it easier than ever to create your own letterforms and also the web bringing in demand for even more simplified fonts. sure, not many have/will stick around but there's definitely going to be a lasting influence on typography coming out of the digital age. maybe it's too recent for us to be truly aware of it - or how it will shape things going forward.

my thesis in college was on font styles as signifiers of overall shifts in design styles throughout the 20th century.

TCRODTT, that sounds interesting! Is it online anywhere?
― Doctor Casino, Saturday, 2 May 2009 13:19 (seventeen years ago)
I feel like with typography, it's sort of that dilemma where to some degree it's been done and perfected. Over centuries certain styles were created that became standards and for years and years and still those basic styles get tweaked. The grunge fonts era created an explosion of new ideas, but mostly faddish ones that are already dated, and in sacrificing legibility, don't seem like they'll have much legs. The type designers today are left with either subtle updates of classic forms or novelty faces. Maybe it is a question of distance...I say 90s grunge fonts are dated, but personally I'm a big fan of the sort of 50s/60s phototypesetting styles that most people have avoided for the last 30 years as cheesy, because it's easier for me to idealize and romanticize the 60s then the 90s. I'm talking about liking stuff like Banco or Brush Script, but not really caring for most of Emigre's fonts of Neville Brody's stuff. I'm sure in a few years everyone will start using Industria Inline or something. Stuff like Banco is the kind of thing lazy designers use in silly ways, but while in college I saw a copy of the original type specimen sheet and taken in it's original context and used well, it just looked awesome. I guess everything has it's place!
Personally, I'm really bad at even recognizing typefaces, and getting started with hand typesetting, I'm going to purchase just a few basic fonts and use them for everything. When I bought my type cabinet, I got a really really great deal on a large amount of Futura Demibold, so like it or not, I'm going to make that work. The guy selling it said he didn't think he'd be able to get rid of it easily. I think the people who are doing hand typesetting these days in the letterpress community seem to be really attracted to more old-fashioned serifs, wedding typefaces, display faces, etc.

― Hard House SugBanton (blueski), Saturday, 2 May 2009 15:36 (seventeen years ago)
I never really liked the 90's grungy-busy thing at all, even when it was new - it always felt like it was setting itself up for instant datedness, kind of like all the "computer" fonts of the 80's representing fake futureism. I've been digging a lot of the old serif fonts lately, mostly out of necessity because I deal with a lot of stuff from 16th and 17th century at my job and kind of have to design around that.
As for Banco, it will always just be "Thrasher Font" to me, just like Mistral is "NWA Font":http://www.nebraskaskateparks.com/skateparktourEast-5-2005/norfolk/thrasher52405.jpg

weird, cuz i find these images incredibly refreshing. like they let cool, clean air into my mind, making me feel all relaxed, sensible and efficient. there's an lightness and elegance to midcentury design that i find nearly intoxicating. get the same same thing from the era's product design:

I know, second repost from that blog. If you don't already follow it, it's a pretty hip shop in london I think that mostly sells like old stationery bits and bobs and has an immaculate sense of design and style. Everything a bit cutesy and pricey but amazing none the less.

A german motion designer animated a bunch of "op art" book covers - half of which are in this thread.
I'm currently helping install the new SFMOMA and there's a design show that includes some gorgeous posters for the italian typewriter company Olivetti. A quick GIS for their posters brings up some great stuff:https://fishinkblog.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/fishinkblog-1857-olivetti-2.jpghttps://fishinkblog.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/fishinkblog-1856-olivetti-1.jpg
― Fetchboy, Sunday, 13 March 2016 23:28 (ten years ago)
Olivetti is one of the great designer-friendly companies of the 20th century, both their product-design and their marketing.
From that small but special pantheon which also includes Geigy and Container Corporation of America.
