When I moved to San Francisco in the late 90s, I thought it'd be cool to buy — and drive — and old pickup... a 1953 Ford F-100. It was cool and all, but it almost killed me.
Take a look at the below video in which I compare that old truck to Futura and try to convince you to start to look at typefaces made during your own lifetime. While there's nothing wrong with old typefaces (and we should celebrate them for their historic value), there's likely been something designed more recently that might work better on screen, or over a wide range of deliverables.
