One more try at the cover

OK, same formatting as last time but I've used Albertus as the typeface and set the colour to black, with all fonts engraved, which gives a white/grey border. It seems to be reasonably clear at 50% and 25% magnification.

I have a tendency to use Albertus a lot because I think it's a very nice font - also, it's the only font I've actually paid for (as distinct from downloading from free sites and getting with software etc.) - but I think it works here.



Also lightened the background, which someone suggested much earlier, and that helps considerably.

Later: Font alignment glitch fixed.

Later still: Going with this one, it seems to work pretty well.

I like that. I agree about Albertus, it's a very nice font. I used to have a copy but lost it several computers and a house move ago. My only only query would be about the alignment of the lines "Forgotten Futures X" and "Tooth and Claw". I'm assuming both are meant to be centred, but the former looks like it is a shade too much to the left, and the latter a touch too much to the right. They are are the two most emphasised lines but they look ever so slightly skewed in relation to each other.

Yes, I see what you mean - There seems to be some sort of glitch in the way text is being centered when it's this big. But it looks OK if I align Tooth and Claw to the left. Go figure...

I like it. Very easy to read. Nice, elegant design. Well done.

That looks good - readable and eye-catching.
