Sherlock Holmes Book Design

Reflection

Typesetting a full page of running text taught me more about hierarchy than most of my UI work has, since there is nowhere to hide a weak decision when type and margin are the only real elements on the page. Getting the chapter opener to feel atmospheric without slowing down the actual reading took a few tries.

If I revisited this, I would test the body copy at real print size, since something that looks fine on a screen does not always hold up once it is the size of an actual page in your hands.
