Rafael Koch & Mauro Paolozzi
As a graduation project at Fachklasse Grafik in Lucerne, Rafael Koch (*1976) initiated the off space for graphic design ‘Transport’ with Urs Lehni in 1999. They drew the Lego Font, which was published through Lineto in the same year. In 2000 they released the online drawing tool vectorama.org, with Jürg Lehni. Since 2001, Rafael has been teaching at Fachklasse Grafik. While interning at James Goggin’s office in London in 2003, Rafael was introduced to the Prismaset idea, and from 2006 to 2017, he has lead the development of the LL Prismaset fonts. He co-founded Zurich based design agency Noir Associates in 2016.
Mauro Paolozzi (*1975) studied at Lucerne School of Art and Design and graduated from the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague in 2000. After completing the postgraduate class Type & Media (2000–01), he maintained a platform for audio and visual art in The Hague (2001–06). He has also been teaching at Fachklasse Grafik in Lucerne since 2001. In 2006, Mauro started contributing to the full development of LL Prismaset A (2017). He later initiated a second set for the Prismaset fonts (2019), which was largely inspired by his interest in stone-carving, and has been working with Rafael Koch on a series of symbols to complete the Prismaset project. Mauro has designed identities for many cultural institutions and for the Swiss Federal Office of Culture.
