Jonathan Barnbrook born in Britain grew up in Lupton just outside London, he studied graphic design at Central St. Martins in London and graduated from the Royal College of Art in 1990. Barnbrook was a graphic designer, filmmaker and typographer; although throughout his career as a post-modernist designer he became widely known for his typography and his graphic design was heavily influenced by politics and readings. Barnbrook had produced works for commercial clients and personal works, believing that design could be used as a weapon to impose cultural and social change. As a proponent of anti-capitalist ideology at political events, Barnbrook is often seen incorporating these strong messages and viewpoints into his personal work. Additionally, in this essay, we will explore some of Barnbrook's works such as the influences and meaning of the Exocet font; Tibor Kalman inspired a billboard making a statement about anti-capitalism and his project Tomorrow's Truth - Consumerism is the Fuel of America's War and Why It's Opposed to Consumerism. These works created by Barnbrook will show how he incorporated hidden connotations into his work to engage viewers and his work. Jonathan Barnbrook strongly believed that typography conveyed meaning, often establishing a connection to the past, through his Exocet font. Barnbrook was able to express his strong opinion on the Gulf War and the French government. The Exocet font was Barnbrook's first typeface to hit the market, inspired by early Greek and Roman stone carvings. Barnbrook oddly thought that these sculptures looked “very modern” (Heller and Pettit 1998, p. 22). and that's why I wanted to express it to people.
