A multiline typeface by Rudolf Koch, released by Klingspor in
1930 [Reichardt 2011]. Not registered at the VdS
before July 1931. Together with Zeppelin
(1929), Prisma can be regarded as a display extension
to his Kabel
(1927–30). Strokes have four lines in smaller sizes (20, 24, 28 pt)
and five lines in larger ones (36, 48, 60 pt).
Adopted by Letraset and Mecanorma. Latter’s Neo
Prisma is a distant cousin. Numerous adaptations and
extensions from the phototype era, including Bauhaus
Prisma, Futura Prisma & Prisma Graphic and
Prismania.
Digital revivals include Prisma Pro, (RMU, 2011),
Pentaprism
NF (referencing Prismania et al.), and
LL
Prisma (Lineto, 2016). More…
