Typography

This is a magnificent revamp of a classic book cover, by Ruben Toledo. His use of font on this classic book might seem very out of place to some people, but I love it. He makes the words "Wuthering Heights" have a chilling, creepy feeling to them, which I find is very close to the whole climate of the book. He could have made the words curly, and romantic looking, which would come to mind for most people about one of the best romantic novels of all time, but the book has a DARK romance in it, so I think it works well here. Along with the picture, this portrays Emily Bronte and her story in the true dark light.

  1. Good font choices for this book cover. The artists uses type and illustrations in a way that is both feminine and a bit gothic/creepy.
