8th Day of the Week game booklet
Cover for 8th Day of the Week with art by Strega Wolf Eden van der Berg and typography by Luna P.
8th Day of the Week is a game booklet by Amir/Nada Alami, and published by Plus One Experience for their Zine Club initiative.
Variable width typefaces are used for the cover and interior’s titles. The fonts’ weight and, most importantly, width axes were progressively tweaked for individual glyphs and lines to reflect the game’s theme of time blindness and dilation. Nickel Gothic v3 by David Jonathan Ross is used in the cover for its blockier features, which lend a calendar-like appearance to the title. The interior headings alternate and combine Organetto and Transducer, as the weight axes allow for a more pronounced widening and contracting effect.
The rest of the interior is set mainly in Polymath Text (a personal favorite from OH no Type Co), utilized in the table of contents and most of the body.
Mister Pixel Regular by Christophe Badani, an open-source font previously shared through Velvetyne (but now retired), was selected for asides and other details. Its Tools weight, comprising of pixelated dingbats, was used for further decoration, along with Plakato’s Game Dingbats.
