Type Identification - Week 1

Franklin Gothic  +  Futura

Franklin Gothic is much heavier than Futura. Futura is very geometric while Franklin utilizes a more natural approach. The lower case "j" in Futura has a straight descender while Franklin's has a curvilinear one. The peaks in Futura come to a point; Franklin's seem to have a plateau effect.
