Prisma Font
Author's note
Prisma, designed by Rudolf Koch for Typographer Mediengestaltung, is a free retro outlined display font with a strong Art Deco flavor. Repeated parallel lines give the tall capitals an architectural look.
The 1920s-inspired geometry suits theater posters, luxury cocktail packaging, fashion event graphics, and editorial covers, especially where the lettering can echo decorative borders, frames, or linear patterns. It is particularly convincing for period entertainment and hospitality projects that draw on marquee signs, streamlined interiors, and Jazz Age ornament.
