This separation evokes the tension and suspense within the narrative. The villagers, subtly depicted in the background, add depth and context, reflecting external judgments and gossip, creating a layer of suspense rooted in social dynamics. The typography choice, with a lowercase serif font for the title, speaks to the literary fiction genre's gravitas, while the contrasting sans-serif font for the author ensures clarity. The use of a matte finish with spot UV accents draws attention to key elements such as the sunrise, underscoring themes of hope and new beginnings, while also providing a tactile contrast that enhances the visual and emotional experience of the cover.
