Originally designed for British style magazine Harper’s & Queen, Austin is a loose revival of the typefaces cut by Richard Austin in the late 18th century. Working as a trade engraver Austin cut the fi rst British Modern for the publisher John Bell, and later the iconoclastic Scotch Roman. Referencing Austin’s fi rst creation, Paul Barnes turned up the contrast, tightened the spacing and made a fresh new look that would look bold and beautiful in the constantly changing world of fashion.

Paul Barnes (born 1970) is a graphic designer special-izing in the fields of lettering, typography, type design and publication design. In the early 1990s he worked for Roger Black in New York where he was involved in redesigns of Newsweek, US and British Esquire and Foreign Affairs. Dur-ing this time he art directed Esquire Gentleman and U&lc He later returned to America to be art director of the music magazine Spin.

Independently he has created identities for luxury Italian shoe manufacturer, Gianvito Rossi and German publisher, Schirmer Graf. Barnes has also been an advisor and consultant on numerous publications, no-tably The Sunday Times Magazine, The Guardian and The Observer Newspapers, GQ, Wallpaper*, Harper’s Bazaar and frieze. He has designed many books for publishers all over Europe including, Schirmer Mosel, Oxford University Press, the Tate and the iconic Schirmer Graf series.
