A hardcover book design for The Grace of Kings by Ken Liu. I recently finished this amazing epic by Ken Liu that balances high fantasy with a allegory for politics and ruler-ship.  I wanted to design a new cover that would de-emphasize the high fantasy aspect of the novel and instead bring out the intensely psychological and divisive concepts this book addresses.

Typefaces: Handlettering, Bahnschrift designed by Aaron Bell, Europa designed by Fabian Leuenberger, and Monarcha designed by Isac Correa Rodrigues.
