Prizma specimen from Superior Type

A stencil display family from Rostislav Vaněk that pairs sharp and rounded forms, enriched with swashes, oldstyle figures and 17 stylistic sets across 12 styles plus a variable font.

About

Built on the visual tension between sharp and rounded shapes, Prizma moves beyond the utilitarian conventions of stencil type by introducing decorative swashes and lowercase figure variants that give it an unusual richness. Six weights from Light to ExtraBold each carry a matching italic, and the variable axis allows continuous interpolation across the range. With 308-language Latin coverage and a broad OpenType feature set, it suits fashion, editorial and identity work that wants stencil character without stencil austerity.

Classification

Prizma is explicitly described as a stencil typeface, though it extends the category with decorative details including swashes and alternates. Its sharp-meets-rounded character and display-oriented presence place it firmly in the display category.
