Design a typeface that is reflective of the city of Prague. –The typeface, Muztek, is reflexive of both the transit and skyline of Prague.

The three line system that comprises the letters represents the city’s excellent public transit (rails) while the name (Muztek) is one of the main stops on the metro line.
