Werewolves in Their Youth

Werewolves in Their Youth

Random House, Inc., New York, New York, 1999

Description

Keeping things simple for this particular book of short stories was the challenge. To attract the youthful audience the book speaks to, I wanted to create an original typeface that was modern yet uncommon. Since the book was a collection of short stories, I wanted the type to evoke several varied moods. With the various elements of type design at play—spacing, placement, color and texture—I believe I achieved that mood while keeping it visually simplistic.
