Using a file structure similar to this, organise your font files into directories, using the the font name for both the directory name and for the file names.

Within your SASS file, start an `@each` loop, listing the names of the fonts. In the same way as PHP's `foreach` loop, each font name will get looped through using the `$family` variable and then compiled into CSS.

~~~~
@each $family in FuturaBook, FuturaBold, FuturaBoldItalic, FuturaItalic {
  @font-face {
    font-family: #{$family};
    src: url('../fonts/#{$family}/#{$family}.eot');
    src: url('../fonts/#{$family}/#{$family}.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
         url('../fonts/#{$family}/#{$family}.woff') format('woff'),
         url('../fonts/#{$family}/#{$family}.ttf') format('truetype'),
         url('../fonts/#{$family}/#{$family}.svg##{$family}') format('svg');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
  }
}
~~~~

When the CSS has been compiled, you can then use in your CSS in the standard way.

    font-family: "FuturaBook";
