APPROACH

It was decided quite early on that this cover is to be strictly typographic. We began our design process by developing the custom hand-lettered type. This reimagined cover design for Fredrik Backman’s “A Man Called Ove” draws inspiration from the serious yet heartwarming narrative of this novel.
