Paul Renner

artist Germany

Paul Renner was a German type designer best known for creating the Futura typeface in the 1920s, which became a symbol of modernist design with its clean lines and geometric shapes. His work was influential in the development of sans-serif typefaces and reflected the cultural and artistic shifts of the Bauhaus movement. Despite his significant contributions to typography, Renner faced persecution under the Nazi regime for his modernist ideals, leading to his exile in Switzerland. His legacy continues to impact graphic design and typography today.
