Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, featuring a different top 10 theme each week. This week’s topic is Book Covers Featuring Cool/Pretty/Unique/etc. Typography, with the prompt Typography is the art of arranging letters so they look visually appealing and more interesting than, for example, the body text of this blog post you’re reading now.
I’m not always great at visuals and graphics (my artistic side is… let’s say… rather under-developed). Still, perusing my shelves, I was able to find books where the cover lettering feels different and really fits the theme or subject:










- Paperbacks From Hell by Grady Hendrix
- Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger
- White Cat by Holly Black
- I’ll Be Waiting by Kelley Armstrong
- NOS4A2 by Joe Hill
- You Suck by Christopher Moore
- Doll Bones by Holly Black
- Small Spaces by Katherine Arden
- Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin
- Black Sheep by Rachel Harrison
I also have in mind a couple of series with iconic typography:


Can you think of any others, similar to Harry Potter and Outlander, where the font/typography is so strongly associated with the book series?

Ooo I love the typography on Small Spaces!
