The cover utilizes a high-contrast black-and-white palette. A stark, grainy texture inspired by 1980s film noir posters is applied across the surface to evoke a vintage and mysterious feel. In the center, a shadowy silhouette of a man — presumably Leo — is half-blurred, walking down a desolate, foggy street. Surrounding the figure are fragmented "newspaper clippings" with jagged edges and partially readable text, hinting at crime and a missing person’s case. The background is slightly offset to give a distressed and layered look, emulating old 1980s investigative tabloids. The title, “Missing Leo,” is splashed prominently in bold, iconic lettering, slightly askew, mimicking the ransom-letter effect with an edgy modern twist.

The typography is bold and geometric, referencing fonts from vintage crime mysteries. For the title, a sans-serif font like “News Gothic” or “Trade Gothic” is used, distressed for contrast. The subtitle, "The Disappearance of Leo," appears in a typewriter-style serif font reminiscent of old newspaper bylines.

The layout centers all attention on Leo’s silhouette. The title arches above the figure, with newspaper cutout elements encircling the man like swirling evidence in a chaotic investigation. The subtitle is positioned at the bottom in small, unobtrusive text, lending balance to the composition. The grainy texture creates border framing while keeping focus centralized.
