The Priori family was originally conceived as a series of typefaces which shared a common core character shape but had different styles. Priori Acute is a tangential implementation of that. Drawing heavily on the work of M.C. Escher, Priori Acute contains incongruous perspectives and twisting shapes that fold into themselves tricking the eye. At first glance and at small sizes the effect is subtle and the original letter forms themselves remain intact but when blown up, the individual characters constantly shift and confuse in a delightfully charming way. The font works best for initial caps, short headlines and logos.
Barnbrook is one of Britain’s most well-known and highly regarded independent creative studios, based in London. We work with a variety of clients across the globe and projects of varying scales. From overseeing the brand identity and environmental graphics of Art Basel and Roppongi Hills to our much-discussed David Bowie album covers.
Barnbrook’s contribution to design was recognised with a retrospective at the Design Museum in London entitled Friendly Fire in 2007 and at Ginza Graphic Gallery in 2004. A touring exhibition if the studio’s work Collateral Damage was staged in various countries, including France, Croatia and Slovenia.
Jonathan Barnbrook is available for teaching and lecturing worldwide.
