Contemporary Wood Burners
Wood stoves may appear identical from the outside, but a closer inspection will reveal important improvements that increase efficiency and clean-air emissions. This is a good thing for homeowners.

Futura
The Stovax Futura 5 multifuel and woodburning stove is DEFRA exempt from Smoke Control Areas, Eco-design Plus Ready. The stove comes with large windows for viewing and a stylish stainless steel air control. This modern design is perfect for both modern and traditional homes. It also comes with a state of the art convector heat system, which includes heat shields that maximize the amount of heat that is directed back into the room, as well as a minimal distance to combustibles, ensuring maximum efficiency.
The name Futura refers to its geometric sans serif forms with a low contrast and even width strokes. The font was designed by Paul Renner, and first released commercially in 1927. It was an immediate success and soon found its ways into newspapers, magazines and books, as well as onto posters and the logos of many major corporations.
Futura as with all fonts has changed with the evolution of styles of typography. The spacing and the shapes of the letters have changed over time, but the overall aesthetic remains the same. The font has also been modified to work with various languages. The addition of the Latin alphabet made this font more adaptable. Since then, several type foundries have upgraded and redrawn the style.
While many contemporary fonts are influenced by Art Deco designs, Futura is a perfect illustration of a style that inspires the future. Futura’s simple lines and clean lines make it easy to read. The retro-futuristic style is evident in its use in 2001: A Space Odyssey and the inscription left on the moon by the Apollo 11 astronauts.
Its simplicity and readability made it suitable for both editorial and advertising design. Its use in these two fields contributed to its success. It has become one of the most popular fonts in the past 100 years since its introduction. Its popularity inspired other designers to create similar fonts, and it’s one of the most popular fonts around the globe today.
The font’s geometric shapes and clean lines led to a generation of artists. Shepard Fairey and Jenny Holzer, both feminist artists, have used it in their work. In the 1960s and 1970s, it was the font of choice for protest art that was political because it was thought as a symbol of progress and modernism.
In the 1980s, typographers started to utilize Futura to do digital typesetting and phototypesetting. Futura’s letterforms distorting in some instances. Typography often changed the size or shape of letters. This led to a number of mistakes and distortions that were sometimes difficult to rectify. This was particularly true when ligatures were used because they required a very precise adjustment to the height of particular characters.

Conde Nast purchased the magazine in 1916, and redesigned it into a fashion bible for women.
The Vogue of the present is aware of where it is in the world and engages its readers with articles that examine the political and social issues that will interest readers. For instance, British Vogue included NHS workers on its cover during the pandemic in 2022.
Yale digital humanists and researchers are diving into the Vogue’s rich electronic archive using a program called Bookworm that is similar to Google Ngrams. It compares words such as “frock” or “dress” that are used in the magazine over time and by different editors. The results help researchers examine the ways the norms of society and ideas have shifted through the changing use of vocabulary.
