 | | We knew his typeface FF Celeste and had read his book Paul Renner: the art of typography, published by Hyphen Press, and which has recently been translated into Spanish by Campgràfic. | | | I believe that when Renner and the Bauer typefoundry called Futura ‘the typeface of our time’ they did not restrict their view to that one decade: rather I think that they meant to create something with timeless appeal. | | | In his later writings Renner often talked of creating typography that was timeless, although he also commented that it is difficult to guess what will eventually be considered as such. |

| | Typotheque: My Type Design Philosophy by Martin Majoor |
| | It was the first time a sans serif typeface was not based on the watered down classicistic letterforms on which Akzidenz Grotesk was based; instead he started his drawings from scratch. | | | The typeface I had in mind was a sans serif. | | | Consequently, even a great type designer like Adrian Frutiger made slanted romans with his sans serif designs, and it was only recently, when his Frutiger typeface (1977) was redrawn in 2000, now with a real italic instead of a slanted roman, that he acknowledged that a real italic makes a better contrast with the roman. |
