This gorgeous illustration by Martina Heiduczek sets the mood and scene of We Are Wolves, about three children fleeing from the Russian Army at the end of the war, so it lead the design of this beautiful book. I wanted the cover font to have the same textural tacility that the artwork has so I chose a hand drawn serif font and added a texture and gradient to it. The internal openers feature more of Martina’s wonderful illustrations and textural backgrounds and the font are used throughout to create a covetable hardback.
