Twentieth Century

Lanston Monotype’s copy of Futura. Drawn by Sol Hess between 1936 and 1947. Also spelled 20th Century. For the heaviest styles, see Twentieth Century Ultrabold.

Letraset’s and Varityper’s Futura are at least partly based on Twentieth Century, see the Extra Bold. So is the digital Futura No. 2.

Monotype’s digitization has 19 styles, incl. five italic and four (upright) condensed styles, as well as two Classified weights for small sizes and one all-caps Poster style. LTC Twentieth Century (Lanston Type Company/P22) was drawn by Colin Kahn and covers the Medium weight, with small caps and alternates.
