The Gothic, distressed typeface for the title enhances the sense of unease, while the clean serif font for the author's name provides a contrasting but complementary look. The matte finish paper stock gives a smooth and non-reflective feel to the cover, ensuring that the illustrated night scene retains its eerie ambiance.
