Using a split design with cracks adds tension and depth, symbolizing fragility and conflict within the story. The serif font for the title reflects seriousness and gravitas, while the sans-serif subtitle adds contrast and modernity. Gold foiling and textured emboss is used to add a sense of luxury and importance to the design, making the cover eye-catching and memorable from both a tactile and aesthetic perspective. The minimal color scheme and dramatic layout ensure clarity and recognizability even from a distance.
