the back of a book cover explaining the content of the book Der beruf der Schriftsetzer

With the title Der Beruf der Schriftsetzer (The Profession of the Typesetter) and two given typefaces, the book cover – front, back and spine – was designed, accompanied by a short video.

Through this design, I wanted the reader to feel the discomfort caused when a typesetter fails to properly format a text, while white space was incorporated as a breathing space.
