  About Barry Spencer Design and Legibility
  Barry Spencer
After graduating from the National Institute of design and taking part in the ‘Everything in Between’ workshops, Barry travelled through Europe to gain an insight into other cultures history and perspective on design. Coming into contact with a wealth of information and influential designers, Barry strives to question the nature of design and typography and push the boundaries of what is expected.

Typography

Clicking through this website, you will see a keen interest in typography and type design. Over the last few years an on going study of legibility and readability has been undertaken with the aim to push the boundaries of conventional type design and ask the question "How far can letterforms be taken forward or stripped back before they no longer are considered letters?". Continually looking to blur the line of where letterforms begin and end, Barry does not see this study coming to an end any time soon.

If you have an interest in this area and would like to learn more visit Legibility and have a post and look around.

Products
The plan is to supply cheap, good quality products with unique designs.
All products are part of limited production runs with one run working to finance the next. So if you want to support something creative and see things continue, snap one (or more) up and spread the word.
