Developed by Jonathan Barnbrook, Priori Intense is a dingbat and display serif typeface household. This typeface has two designs and was released by Emigre.

Priori Severe is the most recent addition to the Priori family. It is the outcome of a series of experiments into three-dimensional letter form design influenced by 19th Century display screen and creative printing types. Nevertheless, rather of just including drop shadows or phony relief to produce the impression of depth, the designers at Jonathan Barnbrook's studio took their hint from such diverse sources as the angles on the Stealth bomber and the visual conceit in the work of the Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher.

The resulting types are a spirited exhibit of incongruous viewpoints and twisting shapes that fold into themselves tricking the eye to shift the aircraft. In the beginning glance and at small sizes the effect is subtle and the original letter forms themselves stay intact, keeping the history of British early 20th century typography, which was a motivation for the original Priori family. However when blown up, the individual Priori Acute characters become perfectly animated and work well in selective situations such as initial caps, brief headings or logo design.
