Scala in use
The award-winning Scala & Scala Sans have become worldwide bestselling fonts. In the world of fonts, Scala is now considered a ‘digital classic’.
To mention just a few examples of its use: KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, The Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, Los Angeles Mertro, Taschen Verlag, Humboldt University Berlin, 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 Scala for its permanent collection, the ‘Design and Crafts’ collection.
Scroll down to see some of the best examples of Scala in use. It should be emphasised that in these examples Martin Majoor is only responsible for the typefaces, not for the design of the products themselves.
