LL Prisma
Lineto · James Goggin, Laurenz Brunner, Jonathan Hares, Rafael Koch, Mauro Paolozzi, Arve Båtevik, Cornel Windlin, Viktoriya Grabowska · 2017
A collaborative expansion of Rudolf Koch's 1930 decorative caps typeface Prisma, developed over two decades by eight Lineto designers and extended into 23 Latin and 23 Cyrillic styles.
About
Built on Koch's original five-line modular logic, the family explores repetition, subtraction and overlay to produce 23 formally distinct but internally consistent styles, each sold as a bundle of two Latin and two Cyrillic cuts. The Cyrillic counterparts were drawn in full by Viktoriya Grabowska for the 2023 super-family release, which also brought new kerning and formal corrections across all styles. The austere geometric shapes suit large-scale headline, packaging, signage and identity work.
Classification
A modular, geometric caps-only display typeface rooted in Rudolf Koch's 1930 Prisma, built on a five-line system of repetition, subtraction and overlay. Its ornamental, inline structure places it firmly in the decorative display category.
