The gradient background of deep red to black symbolizes a transition or emotional void, crucial for a new adult genre where characters often experience profound introspection and detachment. The choice of a modern sans-serif font adds a contemporary feeling, while the contrast between bold and italic text gives a sense of layered depth. The matte cardstock with spot UV effect not only provides tactile engagement but visually separates key text elements, enhancing overall impact.
