In the 1960s & 1970s, it was the preferred font in political protest art as it was seen as embodying the concept of modernism and progress.

In the 1980s, typographers began using Futura for phototypesetting and digital typesetting. Due to this, the letters of Futura became disjointed and distorted in certain instances. It was also commonplace to use typesetting to alter the shape of a letter, or change its size. This caused many mistakes and distortions that were sometimes difficult or impossible to correct. This was especially relevant when adding ligatures which required precise adjustments to the heights of specific characters.
