Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼Font trivia alert! Bauhaus was a pre-World War II movement in Germany that reacted to America and England’s pragmatic but artisanal Arts and Crafts and turned everything into sharp angles and slabs. FUTURA was all of that, swapping serifs for the pointiest of pointy corners and ends. In the department of what goes around comes around (my favorite department, don’t you know), the Nazis disliked Futura for eliminating their Fraktur-style heavy ornamentation — until they took Futura as their own, with no explanation.
