    futura and his evil twin avant garde...

    first i must say to this that i had to use futura bold and regular 4 yrs as the ci font. and i am not a big fan of constructed grotesque fonts (except the experiments from herbert bayer http://www.type.nu/bayer/univer.… )

    i don't like the forms of the letters. the normal cut is too wide and hurts my eyes when i read it too long. the bold characters are too heavy and crush the light or regulars. best way to use a futura is for headline or versal.

    though, i must say that i use the condensed font quite often. but i would allways prefer eurostile or avenir to them,
