Cover Trend That One Serif Font

Cover Trend That One Serif Font I love me a good book cover trend. This is one youve seen everywhere. Its similar to the big cover trend of 2018, outlined by Literary Hub, but with one tweak. Instead of a big, bold sans-serif font on a vibrant background, these have a serif font on a solid background. Simple. Gorgeous. Its a good trend, Brent. The majority of the books with this treatment are non-fiction by and about white women, with a few exceptions. If you flip through a list of feminist works of 2018, a good chunk of them will fit this cover trend. I guess its a ~girly~ look? Its also the go-to font for a lot of fashion blogs right now. It seems like the trend got started in 2017, with these two: The Girl in the Show: Three Generations of Comedy, Culture, Feminism by Anna Fields Sex Rage by Eve Babitz But THEN 2018 happened, and, hoo boy, have we got a lot of them. Lets take a gander. Also, sorry (not sorry) in advance, but you will be finding this cover trend everywhere now. Black Swans by Eve Babitz Conscience: A Novel by Alice Mattison The Dakota Winters by Tom Barbash Dead Girls: Essays on Surviving an American Obsession by Alice Bolin Dictionary Stories: Short Fictions and Other Findings by Jez Burrows Feminasty: The Complicated Womans Guide to Surviving the Patriarchy Without Drinking Herself to Death by Erin Gibson From the Corner of the Oval by Beck Dorey-Stein Horse: A Novel by Talley English MI5 and Me: A Coronet Among the Spooks by Charlotte Bingham Man with a Seagull on His Head by Harriet Paige Penis Envy and Other Bad Feelings: The Emotional Costs of Everyday Life by Mari Ruti Putney by Sofka Zinovieff She Called Me Woman: Nigerias Queer Women Speak, edited by Azeenarh Mohammed, Chitra Nagarajan, ?Aisha Salau Small Fry by Lisa Brennan-Jobs Someone Has Led This Child to Believe: A Memoir by Regina Louise Tell Me Lies by Carola Lovering Unwifeable: A Memoir by Mandy Stadtmiller Note that I *do* work in book design, but Im not, like, super savvy in the world of typefaces, so dont @ me about these not all being exactly Bodoni Old Style Bold. THEYRE CLOSE. Other book trends this year: floral fiction, ultra violet YA, and the art of YA book titles.
