Classic book covers

The Serif have been running a series of Redesigner briefs recently. A subject is chosen, and Serif readers are invited to redesign it. All entries are then posted on the site. It’s a nice way of getting a non-commercial, non-competitive piece in front of other designers. Past subjects include London Underground tickets, no-smoking signs and the Design Week cover. This time it’s book covers.

We've taken a slightly less serious approach to the brief, redesigning 25 classic book covers using fonts from FontShop.

We've called the range 25 FontShop Classics.

If there are any typo nerds out there who can name all 25 fonts (or get close), we'll send the first three something appropriately thoughtful.

You can see the full set here.

The clue is in the title, or the author.
