Features
With it thick lines and not so geometric figures Futura Condensed Extra Bold is excellent when you really need to broadcast something to the world. It can be easily read for far off distances because of its boldness.
Headlines
These fonts are meant to be seen big and bold to grab your attention.
These fonts are best when labeling. They stand out without being too bold.
Titles
Futura Condensed Bold and Futura Oblique are great for title text, such as a brand. They can also be used for emphasis and can work well as an attention grabber. This makes the font good for titles as well.
Futura Medium is a good choice for subtext. Its not exactly thick enough for a big bold statement, but a tad to thick for body text. This font is perfect for subtle titles. Futura Medium may be used for subtle, elegant titles. The text provides just enough attention without taking too much away from the healiner text. It just screams Im number 2!
Subtext
These fonts are best for getting an additional or subtle message across.
Futura Light
Welcome to the Futura 8
Body
For when you want text not to distracting and easily readable in large quantities.
10
Futura Black is an alternate design that uses stencil letter forms. It isnt a good font for body text because it is not easily readable. Because of its stocky brusqueness however, the font is perfect of important title text that is meant to be taken seriously.
Special
These fonts are for special purposes that attract the attention.
