Futura

The Stovax Futura 5 woodburning and multifuel stove is an Eco-design Plus ready, DEFRA exempt for Smoke Control Areas stove. It has a large view window and elegant stainless steel air control. This modern design is ideal for both modern and traditional homes. It also comes with a state of the art convector heat system with integrated heat shields to maximise the amount of heat directed back into the room, as well as a low distance to combustibles to ensure maximum efficiency.

The name Futura is a reference to its geometric sans serif shapes, low contrast and even width strokes. The font was developed by Paul Renner and released commercially in the year 1927. It was a huge success immediately and soon found its ways into magazines, newspapers and books, and also on posters and logos of a variety of major corporations.

Futura like all fonts has changed with the evolution of typographic styles. The font's spacing and letter forms have changed over time, but its overall style hasn't. The font has also been adapted to work well with different languages. The addition of the Latin alphabet made this font more adaptable. Since then, a number of type foundries have updated and revised the design.

While the majority of modern fonts are heavily influenced by Art Deco designs, Futura is an excellent illustration of a style that is a model for the future. Futura's simple lines and clean lines make it easy to read. Its retro-futuristic design is evident by its appearance in 2001: A Space Odyssey, and the plaque left on the moon by the Apollo 11 astronauts.

Its simplicity and legibility lend its appeal to advertising as well as editorial design. Its use in these two areas contributed to its success. It has become one of the most used fonts in the past 100 years since its launch. Its popularity led other designers to create fonts that were similar to it, and today it remains one of the most widely used fonts.

The font's clean lines and geometric forms led to a generation of artists. Shepard Fairey and Jenny Holzer both feminist artists have used it in their work. In the 1960s & 1970s, it was the most popular font for political protest art as it was believed to represent the concept of modernity and progress.

In the 1980s, typographers began use Futura to set type in digital format and for phototypesetting. Due to this, the letterforms of Futura became disjointed and distorted in certain instances. Typography could alter the size or shape of letters. This caused many mistakes and distortions that were sometimes difficult or impossible to fix. This was especially true when adding ligatures, which required precise adjustments to the heights of particular characters.

Vogue

When Madonna sings, "Come on, vogue let your body move to the beat" she isn't only promoting her hit single but also a style of dance that is now part of pop culture. Voguing is a method of expression for many people. Others use it to challenge the norms of society and empower marginalized communities. Voguing is deeply intertwined with fashion, music, and subcultures and has been influenced by styles of beauty and dance all over the world.

Since its debut which was published in 1892, Vogue has been at the forefront of fashion and has established itself as a global authority on innovative images, excellent journalism, and identifying new talent. The magazine has always embraced diversity and inclusiveness in its coverage and is an iconic brand in the fashion industry. Today, Vogue has expanded to become a multiplatform title that looks at the world through the lens of fashion.

Conde Nast publishes Vogue, which covers style news and information on haute couture fashion and beauty, as well as lifestyle and culture. The current international editors-in-chief are American Vogue's Anna Wintour, Emmanuelle Alt (French Vogue), Franca Sozzani (Italian Vogue), Alexandra Shulman (British Vogue) and Aliona Doletskaya (Russian Vogue). In addition to Vogue the company also publishes Teen Vogue, a version for teenage girls, in the United States. South Korea and Australia both publish Vogue magazines. Vogue Patterns is a line of patterns for sewing at home for women owned by the company.

The magazine was founded in 1892. The magazine originally focused on fashion for high society and the ceremonial side of life. It then became a weekly newspaper and then a monthly publication before becoming an annual in 1909. Conde Nast purchased the magazine in 1916 and transformed it into a fashion bible for women.

The Vogue of today is aware of its place in the world and keeps its readers active with articles that examine the political climate as well as social issues that are important to readers. British Vogue for instance featured NHS workers on the cover of its magazine during the 2022 pandemic.

Yale digital humanists are studying Vogue's rich electronic archive with a program similar to Google Ngrams called Bookworm. It compares words like "frock" or "dress" that were used in the magazine throughout time and by different editors. The results enable researchers to observe the ways in which the cultural norms and concepts have shifted through the changing usage of words.
