Illustration
Images in this book collection use simplified shapes, flat colours and bold hand-drawn designs that make this collection stand out from competitors who use a more realistic approach, as well as strengthen the indigenous style of the series.
Covers
The collection has a total of 5 volumes:
-
Player's Handbook
-
Beasts & Weapons

Atlas

Secret Book
The common cover layout features the fictional planet where the story takes place, with the fifth and last volume in the middle.
Interior layout
The books aim to be easy to understand and play, hence a simple and clean interior layout that avoids confusion.
The format, square A5 (145x145mm), was chosen to be lightweight and portable. The paper selected for the inner pages (khadi sunn hemp paper 90gsm) has a handcrafted finish that matches the theme of the collection. The typography has calligraphic inspiration simulating brush strokes, but maintains a great legibility.
