Book Design

"Heavily muscled myth and scorching reality collide to explosive effect in Patrick Kosiewicz's How Many Suns Burn Over Babel Where Poets Die. This is a fierce, no, ferocious book. If I were you, I would immediately read it."

For Patrick Kosiewicz’s book about the American invasion of Afghanistan, I chose to juxtapose a heavy, military display typeface against a soft, Humanist typeface with ligatures to connote armored vehicles towering over a crowd of people. The cover, a dried-blood red. A traditional Islamic pattern fills the endpapers.
