Paul Reener
Futura
A German Typographer, Type designer, painter and importantly creator of the type face Futura. Reener lived in a very dark part of history yet he didn't let it get involved with his dreams of a Graphic designer. This was the period of Hitler and his powerful rein over the german army, the age of immense politics was inorder for everyone and tight measures opposed towards the public from the Adolf Hitler.
Paul was part of an article writer for "Geberauechs Graphik"; this is where he wrote up on Russian propaganda which was against the war on Germany.This was later followed up by two nazi officer which came to the Reener House asking for him " can we speak to Herr Reener" towards Reener's wife. This was all to do about his particular writing's entries that he made in the magazine. They must have been very annoyed with this article in order of soldiers to actually come out towards the house.
The futura font is very modern for the time it was created in and was considered a blunder once it was out in the open. The people of germany used to the traditional font of "Black letter"; which looks like another version of old english. Futura was completely different, because it didn't have any serifs. The font is very clean and very light; it is a very well designed type. I especially like the way the lower case j is almost like a longer i; it completely is a well balanced design. It is a well known font and has been made digital for everyone to use in many different note/word applications. The font almost is of a standard of Helvetica in my opinion.
