The majority of Barbara Kruger's most known work is all in Futura. Further more, promptly after this discovery I read an article by Sarah Boxer at the New York Times website which said this :
"Then there's Futura Bold Italic, which the artist Barbara Kruger made famous with her starkly graphic works like "Untitled (I Shop Therefore I Am)." Since the 1970's it has been linked with Kruger's feminist, anti-consumerist message. No one quite wants to get rid of it, but there is an advisory out for users: Know where your fonts have been."
Makes me really realize I have so much more to learn to even understand and know the basics about different fonts.
