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. SoftMaker’s Deko Display
Serial adds an Italic (oblique) and an Open (outline). It
has the original lower bar on f and
t and is also distinguished by the centered tail
on Q and the seriffed 1.
