Charlottenburg makes an impact on the cover of Dear Love by artist Sarah Bahbah, designed by Raissa Pardini.
Pardini chose Charlottenburg Circles for the cover, an interplay of compressed and classical proportions. The typographical tension complements Bahbah’s themes of love and heartbreak. The spine is set in Charlottenburg Classic. A more formal choice was made for the text inside the book, set in Times New Roman.
The combination of metallic red hot foil stamping on a linen hard cover further enhances Dear Love’s emotional impact. The book is smyth-sewn, with woven headbands, and includes four satin ribbons for bookmarking.
The Arabic text on the back cover is either lettering, or a yet unidentified typeface.
