Like all fonts, Futura has evolved over the years as styles of typography have changed. The font's spacing and letter forms have changed over time, however its overall design hasn't. The font was also adapted to fit with different languages. The addition of the Latin alphabet made it more adaptable.

It was also commonplace for typesetting to alter the shape of a letter or change its size. This could lead to a variety of mistakes, and the resulting distortions were often difficult to rectify. This was especially true when ligatures were introduced because they required a very precise adjustment to the height of particular characters.
