Futura was designed by Paul Renner in 1927, at a time when sans serif faces were advocated for universal acceptance. Futura is based on strict geometric shapes, which give an overall effect of simplicity and clarity. Futura became extremely popular first in Germany and eventually in the USA. Futura is a sans serif font based on geometric shapes which became an integral part of the Bauhaus movement of the 1930s. Some researchers have identified the Futura letterforms as Constructivist, probably due to the circles and straight strokes which coincide with the Bauhaus design school concepts, when the whole thinking was industrial. Form and function became the key words, unnecessary decoration was scorned. Issued by the Bauer Foundry in a wide range of font weights and widths, the Futura font family became a popular choice for text and display setting.

The numbers above, preceded by "#", in the "Text Color:" and "Background:"
fields, are "Hex" values. Short for Hexadecimal, Hex is a color model used
within HTML and other Web programming languages. Just as printers work
primarily within CMYK, and scanners, monitors and digital cameras work within
RGB, Web pages work within Hex. Colors in the RGB palette have Hex equivalents,
so if you need to find a Hex value for a particular RGB color, try specifying
the RGB value in your design application. There's a good chance it will display
the Hex equivalent for you. When used in HTML, Hex colors are denoted by a "#"
followed by a series of six letters or numbers like this: #93DB70.
