The dimly lit environment and shadows enhance the mysterious, ominous tone, while the spotlight on the objects draws the reader's eye to the pivotal imagery. The serif font for the title was chosen for its timeless elegance and sharp edges, mirroring the dangerous yet refined themes of the story. Pairing it with a clean, sans-serif font for the author’s name allows the title to command attention without overwhelming the design. The matte finish works in harmony with the dark, mysterious theme, while spot gloss highlights the key symbols and title, drawing attention and giving the cover a sense of movement. The textured cardstock adds an extra layer of tactile engagement, making it feel premium and memorable.
