Named Futura Schlagzeile in Germany and
Futura Display abroad. Baltimore had the design as
Airport Tourist [Reichardt
2011]. There is both a ‘t’ with horizontal and with diagonal
top [specimen].
In addition to the tailed ‘T’, a straight form was added by May
1933 [US
specimen] [VdS]
Adopted by Mecanorma [1971
ad] and Letraset [1976 poster].
Various digitizations available, with minor differences (see
especially the counters, e.g. of ‘V’). None of the versions has the
tailed ‘T’. URW’s version adds a Poster (P) cut with integrated
diacritics, an Outline version thereof, and an all-caps Compress.
