Robyn Schneider’s young adult series Emry Merlin is a humorous, fantastical, and romantic take on the myth of King Arthur.

The first book in the series, The Other Merlin, originally launched with a different cover. With the launch of the second book, The Future King, designer Tony Sahara created a cohesive visual system for the series and redesigned the first book’s cover. The covers feature Cortado set at angle for the titles and Zen Kurenaido for the supporting text. The lighter color palette of the new covers and illustrated characters combined with the free spirit of the title font better reflects the series’ jovial and imaginative content and establishes a uniquely identifiable look.
