    Poems to a Greek Lover: Villa Rossi

    A continuous epic, ‘Poems to a Greek Lover: Villa Rossi’ is a biographical ode to romance, referencing classical themes of antiquity.

    On the outside, the front cover has screenprinted text in a bright red over a toothy, earthy green, uncoated recycled board. The inside of the book is printed on a rough, ivory coloured paper and set out along the golden ratio, with a red thread that breaks the rhythm in every sewn section of pages.

    The text is set in BST Spyre, a neo-classical serif typeface that explores the lineage that traditional letterforms have taken whilst evolving into modern typographical styles.
