Typographic Book Jacket: The Overstory

Intimate but analytical, this tyopgraphic cover for Richard Powers' The Overstory appeals to both emotional and analytical interests. The use of cursive hints at something personal and intimate–like a diary entry trying to make sense of a tangled memory–while the stark, simple lines and the serif typeface, Warbler, imitates the taxonomic heirarchies found in the classification and study of flora and fauna.
