Martin Majoor is a Dutch type designer who is most known for his works Scala, Telefont, and Seria.
He also worked on the very succesful type family known as Questa. He was born in 1960 in Baarn, Utrecht, Netherlands.
He attended the Academy of Fine Arts and graduated in 1986. From there he went on to create inconic
typefaces that are used till this day.
It is hard to detemine which one of Martin Majoor's typefaces has contributed most to the field of typography. His typefaces Scala and Scala Sans are among the first typefaces that were on the web. Because of this, many recognize the Scala type family as a classic on the internet.
Questa was a very large contribution to the field of typography. In conjuction with type designer
Jon Buivenga, The Questa project was launched in 2010 and is considered a type foundry. There are
many variations to Questa, the mains ones are just Questa and Questa Sans. Questa strongly
resembles the typeface Didot, while Questa Sans resembles Helvetica
This is Telefont. Martin Majoor designed this typeface between 1993 and 1994. This typeface was
designed for the Dutch national telephone book. It is a sans serif, and does not have a serif counterpart.
I would consider this typeface to be a Geometric Sans. It has no Serif, and it does not have the Humanist ends.
It's plain and simple with fairly wide apertures.
