Jonathan Barnbrook is a British graphic designer and typographer whose practice spans identity systems, typeface design, and political posters that weaponize typography as a tool of cultural critique. His typefaces, including Exocet and Manson, deliberately subvert legibility and commercial convention through distorted letterforms and aggressive formal language. Working across print, digital, and large-scale public commissions, Barnbrook's design embeds ideological resistance into the mechanics of communication itself, refusing the neutrality claimed by modernist grid systems.
