The font was also adapted to suit various languages. The addition of a Latin alphabet made it more versatile. Since then, many type foundries have changed their designs and improved the style.
While many modern fonts are heavily influenced by Art Deco designs, Futura is a perfect illustration of a style that is a model for the future.

In the 1960s and 1970s it was the color of choice for art of political protest, as it was seen as a symbol of modernism and progress.
In the 1980s, typographers started to utilize Futura for digital typesetting and phototypesetting. Because of this, the letters of Futura became disjointed and distorted in certain instances. It was also typical for typesetting to change the shape of a letter, or alter its size. This led to many errors and distortions that were sometimes difficult or impossible to fix. This was especially relevant when adding ligatures which required very precise adjustments to the heights of specific characters.
