Aside from the obvious slight nuances...can anyone tell me the major differences between ADOBE and STANDARD versions of Futura? I have a client that wants to change from Futura STANDARD to ADOBE and they want to know what the impact would be. I have to say I don't really think it would be that noticeable having looked at and worked with both. Then looking at the typefaces side by side. Is one easier to work with from a production standpoint? Any thoughts? Thanks everyone!
The version I bought from Adobe is called Futura Std.
(Standard as opposed to Pro, I gather.)
So the question is, if your "standard" is not from Adobe, whence does it come?
Thanks! Thats a really good point! I thought I had the "standard" to begin with. This all arose because the in-house designer is questioning my selection. Hmm. How can I figure out where my font originated? And even more important is this worth making a complete redesign to the masthead, headlines, etc? The differences are so slight.
There might be one big difference, depending on what
font house/foundry your "standard" Futura is from:
Adobe allows modifications to their fonts (with some
conditions). So for example if you ever need to add
or modify a character you won't be stuck.

Interesting...Thank you so much! so maybe good to change the body copy and headlines moving forward and the items that are outlined and will not change can be left as is?
As you're studying to change your Futura.
I just can recommend you the best digital Futura, Futura ND from Neufville Digital.
