I love fonts and typography. There’s something so amazing about the power of text in design beyond the meaning and words. I really love UI and organizing things on screen in meticulous ways and today I have a confession to make: I’m addicted to this font.
There’s something so balanced and eloquent about the font Futura. It conveys modern yet simple typeface and can deliver practical use for most situations in my games. I’m typically a sans-serif guy and have employed many fonts over the years including Myriad, Helvetica, and Calibri… but these days Futura is fulfilling all my needs.
Here’s as few of my recent games with the font in-use:

In the end I have come to realize that every game I make seems to adopt a font or two that it persists through the entire game. As a developer knowing fonts is crucial to changing a tone or style to a game. When I want to go cruise control with a good, balanced, well-rounded font it doesn’t seem to get any better than this.
Oh, and in case you are wondering… yes, I do dislike Comic Sans (purely from overuse, not from its actual style) but I have more of a qualm from Impact (purely from misuse, it’s like a world where everyone types in Caps Lock).
