Barnbrook is arguably most-recognised for his work on the cover artwork of David Bowie's 2002 album Heathen which featured the debut for his 'Priori' typeface[3]. This is particularly appropriate as Barnbrook cites record cover artwork as an early design influence, and possibly the interest that drew him to graphic design[2]. Other well known fonts designed by Barnbrook (and released through 'VirusFonts' [4]) include Bastard, Exocet, False Idol, Infidel, Moron, Newspeak, Olympukes, Sarcastic, Shock & Awe, and Tourette[5]. Many have emotive and controversial titles reflecting the style and themes of Barnbrook's work.
From 1997-2003 Barnbrook collaborated with 'Young British Artist' Damien Hirst, most notably on the design, layout and typography of his book I Want To Spend the Rest of My Life Everywhere, with Everyone, One to One, Always, Forever, Now[6] and on artwork associated with his restaurant Pharmacy.
