O monstro e outras histórias by Stephen Crane
O monstro e outras histórias is the Portuguese title of The Monster and Other Stories by Stephen Crane (1871–1900), translated by Jayme da Costa Pinto and published by Editora Carambaia.
The graphic design of this book is inspired by fire as a key element in the plots. In the project, it’s represented by the monochrome use of marbled paper prints, a material that has been used for centuries to decorate books.
Clifton, which appears on the book’s cover and openings, was designed by Yoann Minet and released with the French foundry 205TF. It’s a reinterpretation of Athenian Extended (c.1889). It’s also similar to Fantail (1860). Both typefaces originated in the United States, adding to the book the American spirit of the late 19th century, when the stories are set.
