Majella was a lowercase-only, joined-up script typeface with a big x-height and an ‘outrageous’ fusion of handwriting and geometrical sans. The proportions, based on a circle, and the entry and exit strokes at almost 45°, give the face an unmistakably rationalist design and a sense of movement and dynamism. Majella was a wood type released by Xilografia di Verona probably between 1937 and 1939.
