ALL BOUT BOOK TYPOGRAPHY DESIGNS: BOOKS WITH FUN TYPE

by 

When it comes to the design of book covers, I tend to be one of the few who does like models or people. Of course this too is dependent on the style, but I’m not one who minds (even if it’s one of those artistic cropped ones). However, our list today is going in a different direction and looking at typography book cover designs. Because sometimes fonts deserve all the shout-0uts too!

Good fonts aren’t to be underrated. A good font can tell a kind of story too, or it can just fill the cover design of a book in the best and most attractive kind of way. Either way, I’m not going to complain having the chance to talk design! Let’s dive right in.

Honestly, I probably have better “type” cover design books on my shelf, but this is the list I have, so I’m working with it.


TYPOGRAPHY BOOK COVER DESIGNS


THE INHERITANCE GAMES, JENNFER LYNN BARNES

This one has lots of other detailing in this cover, however the gold text, which does primarily cover the art really seems to stand out which I do like. Goodreads

WORDS IN DEEP BLUE, CATH CROWLEY

This one I have to include not only because of the prominent text but because it celebrates words if its title is any indication. Tell me, have you read this novel? Goodreads

THE REST OF THE STORY, SARAH DESSEN

Totally get what this cover art is trying to do based on the theme of the novel, but I wish it were a bit more defined and covered more space. I’m including it not because I 100% love it, but because the idea has potential. So, I’m including this one just because. Goodreads

THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY, JENNY HAN

The redesigns of Jenny’s ‘Summer’ trilogy uses its text as the main point of the cover. It has a pretty pastel background with crisp white text. Plus, the covers still manage to incorporate all their summer themes with seashells! Goodreads

WHAT I CARRY, JENNIFER LONGO

Love the kind of “brush” text on this design. It’s got lots of other details too, but the white color helps the text stand out against the shades of purple. Goodreads

LOSING BRAVE, BAILEE MADISON

Never read this one but I’ve had it on my shelf for years. Someday I should remedy that as this one seems like a book very few talks about or have read. Goodreads

THE LIBRABRY OF LOST THINGS, LAURA TAYLOR NAMEY

Love the text on this one, the first cover and hardcover release. It’s framed by some book spines, but I think the bold brush text is really what catches the eye. Goodreads

DEAR MR. KNIGHTLEY, KATHERINE REAY

Another bold text design! Love that this does have the envelopes, but again, I think the pretty coral color framing the bold text is what’s eye catching. Goodreads

THE LOVELY AND THE LOST, JENNIFER E. SMITH

What I like about this one is how the design and text are married so well. I love that the text kind of “intertwines” with the design through the mountains and clouds. Looks nice and gives more of a kind of haunted look which I think is kind of part of the book’s premise. Goodreads

THE EVAPORATION OF SOFI SNOW, MARY WEBER

This one is all about the text, which I think has cool placement, too and the texture of the cover is cool. Goodreads

  1. The Inheritance Games cover is a tiny bit too crowded for me, feels like there’s almost too much going on? Having said that, the gold type is definitely striking. I think my favourite here is Words In Deep Blue, I love the kind of tiled effect it has going on!
