Designed by Seymour
Chwast at Push Pin Studios in 1967 [Chwast]
or 1968, originally for their Filmsense film service, and named
Silk Screen [Print,
1971] Produced by Photo-Lettering, Inc. in two styles, A
(6039n, shown) and the simpler B (6064n). The former is included in

1969 Alphabet Yearbook. Both styles appear in

both designers, see e.g.
AIGA. Alternates for ‘AEFH’. [photostats]
Copied by Brendel as Expressa
Line & Color Line. See also Prismania
P.
This geometric display sans with alternating thick/thin parallel

as Prismania,
