FF Scala in use

FF Scala was FontShop’s first serious textface, now it is one of its bestselling fonts. Since its release in 1991 it has been used quite widely throughout the world. 

To mention just a few examples: KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, The Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, Los Angeles Mertro, Taschen Verlag, Treaty of Lisbon 2007, Lexus Cars, JBL Sound Systems, Chicago Manual of Style, Bodies - The Exhibition.

In 2010 the MoA (Museum of Art Seoul National University) in Korea acquired FF Scala for its permanent collection, the ‘Design and Crafts’ collection.

Scroll down to see some of the best examples of FF Scala in use. At the bottom you will find the first official use of Scala (one year before it became FF Scala), in the ‘Maandagenda’ (monthly magazine) of Muziekcentrum Vredenburg in Utrecht, dated January 1990.
