THE QUESTA PROJECT

The Questa Project is a collaborative type design project
by Martin Majoor & Jos Buivenga.

Martin Majoor (b. 1960) started his type design career in the mid-1980s. He designed several award-winning typeface, like Scala, Seria, and Nexus. Worldwide the Scala family is a bestseller and it has established a position as a ‘classic’ among digital typefaces. Besides working as type designer, Majoor has designed several books, from poetry to complex scientific books. Worldwide he gives type design workshops and lectures at Schools of Arts and at design conferences. He has written articles for magazines like Page, 2+3d, and Eye Magazine, and he has contributed to several books on typography, like The Eternal Letter and 365typo.

Jos Buivenga (b. 1965) can be passionate about a lot of things. He loves to paint, listen to music, brew an almost perfect espresso... but nothing challenges and rewards him more than designing type. Buivenga is the founder of Exljbris, the one-man Dutch font foundry through which he releases and offers his typefaces. In 2008, while still working as an art director at an advertising agency, he released his first commercial typeface Museo while offering several weights free. That strategy paid off and Museo became a huge bestseller. Partly thanks to that success he now calls himself a full-time type designer.
