Book and Text Design

When it comes to the design of a book or (longer) text, for me, the impeccable legibility always comes first. Combined with a solid typographic craft, this approach leads to beautiful und legible results.

Contact me and I will help you to create an appropriate design for your texts that will help to reach your readers better, for a legible text is more likely to be read.

Musica Incantans

This academic project required a well-structured layout that had to combine the Latin text of the poem with the respective (longer) German translation while keeping the introducing and commenting text legible.

The book is part of the series Hamburger Beiträge zur Neulateinischen Philologie of the LIT-Verlag: Musica Incantans. Eingeleitet, ediert, übersetzt und mit Anmerkungen versehen von Dennis Miedek (ISBN: 978-3-643-12418-0).
