Quadrille

A literary jacket on bright cream paper for pitching books, manuscripts, and ideas: a heavy high-contrast serif cropped tight to the corner with one italic word, a chartreuse page-edge stripe on covers and act breaks, edition-stamp stickers and margin-note annotations, and hairline ledgers for contents, tables, and comparisons. Photography speaks in two voices, bright daylight colour for places and readers and crisp 35mm black-and-white for people and history, while evidence is drawn from grid cells and ink: ink bars, stamped tallies, book-spine shelves, numbered plates, and a calendar of stamped months.
