TTT: Books with Cool Typography on Covers



Top Ten Tuesday: Books with Cool Typography on Their Covers. 
All read by me in 2025.
(I wouldn't say these are the world's best examples of cool typography, but apparently I didn't read great examples of typography last year.)

How Do You Spell Unfair? by Carole Boston Weatherford.
UNFAIR is the point!


The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones.
There's an extra HUNTER in there.


Shackled: How Two Corrupt Judges Defied Justice, Made Millions, and Harmed Thousands of Children by Candy J. Cooper.
$HACKLED by or for money.

Flamer by Mike Curato.
It was the summer of campfires where the Mike came to self-acceptance.


Road Home by Rex Ogle.
How do you find the way home when you've been kicked out?


How to Write a Poem by Kwame Alexander and Deanna Nikaido
Imagination is the focus on these poems.


The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley.
The typography wins for the batch I've shared.


Tilt by Emma Pattee.
The whole world is tilted after an earthquake.


Song of a Blackbird by Maria van Lieshout.
Hmm. Can't remember what blackbirds have to do with this Holocaust story.


Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons.
Iconic cover.
