Raphael Koch
[Rafael Koch]
Raphael Koch or Rafael Koch, b. 1976. Raphael Koch (Blokes.ch, Switzerland) graduated in 1999 from Schule für Gestaltung Luzern, Switzerland. His Diploma work there, Transport, involved the development of several typefaces, and was part of a team effort by Urs Lehni, Peter Körner, Markus Wohlhüter and Rafael Koch. Koch co-designed the very original multiline / prismatic typeface family LL Prismaset A (2006-2013, Lineto, with James Goggin, Alex Rich, and Mauro Paolozzi) which is rooted in Rudolf Koch's Prisma (1930). LL Prismaset B (2017-2019) is a later extension. He co-designed Lego in 1999 at Lineto with Urs and Juerg Lehni. In 2015, Raphael Koch and Mauro Paolozzi co-designed GT Cinetype at Grilli Type. This typeface has outlines consisting of many short straight line segments, thus mimicking the now obsolete pre-digital age technique of laser printing subtitles in movies. At small sizes, the font looks very smooth, but at larger sizes, the straight segments become apparent. Koch co-founded Zurich based design agency Noir Associates in 2016. Since 2001, Rafael has been teaching at Fachklasse Grafik. |
