I'm currently working on a packaging project for an international brand using Futura font. Our client is planning to sell the products in Asia, so I'm trying to find alternate fonts to use in Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and Vietnamese that match the look of Futura. It would be really helpful if anyone can help me with some advice or suggestion of where to go to.
Thanks a lot.

Refer to the following thread for Korean:

I must warn you that the best candidate for a Korean Futura, 윤체 (Yoon-che), is currently available only as part of a multi-font package worth almost a thousand US dollars.
I think you should first decide what to do about Vietnamese. It looks like Futura might never have been extended for Vietnamese, at least from a cursory web search, so that poses a problem.
In the end, it might be easiest and cheapest to settle for neutral sans-serif designs for the required scripts instead of trying too hard to emulate Futura's harsh geometry.
