PRISMA Combined with GOTHAM

Endre Berentzen

Does anyone know of a font that combines the geometric shape of fonts like Gotham or Avenir with the line treatment used to create Prisma?

With careful use of the convert type to outlines, clone and expand stroke functions, repeated, you can apply that effect to any font. It will naturally work better with some than others.

Gotham Rounded was just released. Lined and Neon can’t be far behind.

Hehe. Nice one Stephen;-) We can only hope that someone like TFJ would take on such a project but in the meantime anyone?? What bugs me is I’ve seen it before and can’t remember where. But it is out there!

Is your Gotham close to Prisma?

This is the original one out of lead:

What is the name of typo used on Prisma title? (is it prisma :D :S ? ).

thanks.

yep garden

I found this in my free font folder. It’s called NeonCaps. It’s quite badly drawn. No idea where I got it. I’ve done an exhaustive yet fruitless search on the web for it.

Perhaps someone could shed light on this discovery?

Hello Bleisetzer. No it is not close. That is what I am looking for: a font that combines the shape of gotham and the stroke effect of Prisma

Funny that you bring up that font, Conor, as I was always looking for neon-like lettering when I was about twelve, thirteen years old (I’m eighteen right now), and I ran across this one as well. I didn’t like it then, don’t like it now, although the concept of making letters out of such ’connected’ shapes has been executed some times before, and done with great grace.

Hi Conor. The shape of NeonCaps is very close. To bad it is so badly drawn. Let me know if you find it in a better version. Thanks for the effort so far. I was and still am hoping I don’t have to draw it from scratch myself;-) Please TFJ where are you when we need you;-)

Morice from my friend Morice Kouston drawn by the letterbox www.the-letterbox.com.au is a very nice one for you to check out Sebastiaan. Do you have any other examples of stuff like this done with grace?

sorry for offtopic, could someone link prisma, I can’t find it anywhere...

Prisma is here.

Off topic here but: Bleisetzer, are you the same guy I bought a gothic woodtype alphabet on ebay from. Hmmm I think you might be
