Honestly, both those fonts are terrible. Granted, nothing can match Verdana's sheer blandness and genericness; but Futura is a very.... lame font for a catalog - far too childish and silly. IMO, it was a good idea to change it, but definitely not to stick Verdana in its place.

Futura is "childish"? I've never heard it called that before. It's geometric, mechanical, and inhuman; to type what Metropolis was to movies, maybe.
