“Musical Comedy. Fantastic Fantasy Piano Music” by the Swiss Oscar AKA Oscar I. Hagmann, general practitioner and musician from Oberdorf, Switzerland, who’s apparently notorious for burning his pianos. Via Fonts from the Flea Market by Buro Destruct.
The multiline typeface is Nicola Russo’s Neo Prisma (Mecanorma, 1972). You can read more about it in my previous post. It can here be seen in five stacked lines for an Op Art-like spectacle. The formal script is another rarely seen face: it’s Filmotype Zeal. Originally issued in 1958, it was digitized by Mark Simonson and Charles Gibbons in 2012.
