The choice of bold serif typography with sharp edges for the title "The Shadow King" aligns with the thriller genre, emphasizing tension and drama. The author’s name in a clean sans-serif font ensures it remains legible but does not overshadow the focal imagery. The layout guides the viewer’s eye naturally from the beast to the knights, reinforcing the narrative of confrontation. The matte paper with texture enhances the cover’s physical presence, offering the reader a sensory experience that parallels the suspenseful content inside.
