The choice of dim, cool colors like purple and grey added to the medieval rangers and the gravestone with a magical rune emphasizes the fantasy element while maintaining a mournful ambiance. Using an Old English font ties together the medieval theme effectively while adding to the somber feel of the cover. The serif font for the author’s name provides a clear and elegant contrast without detracting from the primary focus. The placement of the title at the top and the illustration spreading beneath helps the eye naturally flow down through the scene, absorbing the sorrowful elements. A matte finish provides a touchable, high-quality feel to the cover, which is both practical and aesthetically appropriate for a fantasy novel. The spot gloss on the title and rune draws attention without overwhelming the muted color palette, ensuring a distinguished yet subtle allure.
