The typography choice emphasizes bold, cracked, and blood-red fonts, blending perfectly with the ominous theme while maintaining legibility. The use of matte black paper with glossy embossing adds a tactile and visual depth to the design, ensuring the cover is memorable and distinctive within the horror genre.
