Hey everyone — posting here hoping someone can help ID a book I keep thinking about. I’m a graphic design student and saw this in my university library; I didn’t read it, just stared at the design. I don’t remember the title or genre, but the object itself really stood out. Details I can (mostly) remember:
What I remember
- Cover: Very clean white cover with small, minimal typography in neon orange and black. All text was roughly the same size — no bold or blocky headline text. Extremely restrained, almost academic or art-book-like. Possibly no illustration at all, or something very subtle.
- Spine: The book had an exposed/white spine — looked like sewn or exposed binding. Not sure if it was a damaged copy or an intentional design choice, but it felt deliberate.
- Inside: Every spread had experimental/unique typography — layouts changed per spread (similar to House of Leaves). Clean modern serif and sans-serif fonts used interchangeably. Mostly black text with neon orange accents. No illustrations that I remember. All pages were white — no full black or full orange spreads.
- Vibe: Extremely design-forward — the kind of thing a graphic design student would obsess over.
If this sounds familiar, I’d really appreciate any leads. Thanks in advance!
