Top Ten Tuesday used to be a weekly post hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, but was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl. “It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.” This is definitely something I can understand and want to participate in.
This week’s topic is typographic book covers, or those that have a design that is all or nearly all words. It was submitted by Mareli @ Elza Reads. I have a tendency to choose books with striking covers, and sometimes the simplicity of a cover that just includes words, or those where words dominate the cover catch my eye. Here’s ten typographic covers that I really enjoyed:
- The Witch Haven by Sasha Peyton Smith
- The Witch in the Well by Camilla Bruce
- The Storyteller’s Secret by Sejal Badani
- Hester by Laurie Lico Albanese
- Night of the Living Rez by Morgan Talty
- The Change by Kirsten Miller
- Upgrade by Blake Crouch
- And There He Kept Her by Joshua Moehling
- First Time for Everything by Henry Fry
- Nettle and Bone by T. Kingfisher
What are some of your favorite typographic book covers?

I had to look through a lot of book covers to find ten which were predominately words. Ha! Felt like homework.

A great selection of books for sure! I’ve also used Blake Crouch, but a different title. Ha, his books does tend to focus more on typography. Never noticed that.
Thanks for the shoutout!
Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Night of the Living Rez might be my favorite here. It does a greay job of capturing that feeling of looking up at a starry sky through some trees.
