Telefont
A custom-designed sans serif typeface used for the Dutch telephone book between 1994 and 2018. Martin Majoor was responsible for both the typeface design and the complete inside typography of the telephone book—a rare combination of type and book design. The typeface was developed with strict requirements including a new typeface, improved hierarchy, better usability, and paper-saving typography. Telefont comes in two distinct versions: Telefont List (a workhorse for automatically generated phonebook listings with four versions: Regular, Medium, Bold, and Italic) and Telefont Text (designed for custom-made introductory pages with typographic refinements including small caps, ligatures, and old style figures).
