Favourite Book Cover Typography
Oooooh, good topic! I realise that typography on book covers is really important to me, but I don't feel like I realise I pay such close attention to it. But typography can actually make or break a book cover. A pretty cover can be ruined by really bad typography or one that just doesn't match up to the rest of the cover. I'm just going to go with typography on books I own.
Harry Potter
It makes me laugh that I am picking Harry Potter again. I picked all HP scenes for my FFF a few weeks ago, and Amanda told me I'd get past the series one day. Well, I'm currently writing this post as I lounge around in my Harry Potter Hogwarts pyjama top. So that day won't be any day soon.
The Harry Potter typography isn't the most gorgeous typography, but it's the most recognisable for me. You change the words and put it on another book and I'd know it's the Harry Potter typography. I absolutely love my new Harry Potter editions but I honestly miss the old typography!
Shadow & Bone
Throne of Glass
Under the Never Sky
Red Rising
THEY'RE ALL SO PRETTY!
I feel like I should probably have more to say than that, but I really don't. They're all gorgeous and I like them. They are pleasing to my eyes! Especially the Grisha series typography!

The Grisha typography is just STUNNING! Truly. All those swirly lines. It's like someone raided my book of loves :P

I love the cover in general, but it does have the nicest typography I have seen.
DeleteThese are all gorgeous covers and I do love how they all (each series) go together!
ReplyDeleteMe too, I love putting series covers all next to each other. SO PRETTY!
DeleteThese are GORGEOUS! I hadn't seen this version of cover for Under the Never Sky.....They are really pretty though!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing :-)

They are, although I am not completely happy with any of the editions in that book series.
DeleteOh yes so with you. It can really make a difference on a cover. I love Rossi's. So very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love a gorgeous cover, it's sad when everything is right on it except the typography.
DeleteAww such good choices! :D The Grisha, yus, Throne of Glass, yus too for sure! I don't know about the rest though, but hey, finally we agree on Harry Potter, so wahey! :P
ReplyDeleteI know!!! I knew this day would come ;)
DeleteOooo typography =D I loved the ones you picked. The Throne Of Glass ones were my favourite, which was probably why they caught my eye in the first place. O_O As for the Veronica Rossi books, the more you include them in posts, the higher on my TBR they go! They're in the top ten right now!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy the Under the Never Sky series, although I am not a big fan of any of the covers for it. Typography is something that I really notice but without noticing that I do, so that made this weeks topic perfect.
DeleteI LOVE the Shadow and Bone typography! Another one of my favorites is Everything Leads to You! :) I think I should do a post in the near future about my favorite typography on book covers.
ReplyDeleteEverything Leads to You is a brilliant choice, that has really nice typography and has a great cover in general.
DeleteI love typography! and I have serious book envy at hearing that you have the new Harry Potter editions, they are wonderful :-)
ReplyDeleteSarah @ Bookish Retreat
I love the new versions! I can't get enough of them, I just keep staring at them on my shelf.
