In Dala Prisma, this optical effect is applied to the Renaissance style stencil, Dala Floda. During the twentieth century the Klingspor foundry released a version of Rudolf Koch s Kabel, named Prisma in the early 1930s, seemingly inspired by the striped neon letters found at night across Germany.
Typefaces with inscribed lines appeared in the Eighteenth century, but the first striped letter was probably made by Edmund Fry during the early years of the Nineteenth century. In the visual arts we find them everywhere. Published 2014 Designed by Paul barnes & Ben kiel 6 styles 3 weights w/ italics Features proportional oldstyle figures proportional lining figures small caps (roman) fractions (prebuilt and arbitrary) swash capitals discretionary ligatures Stripes have always fascinated humans we are drawn to and repelled by these forms found in the natural and manmade worlds. The extreme thinning of lines means this family only works at large display sizes.
