  The font used on the cover is from a Saint Petersburg collective TypeType, founded in 2013 by Ivan Gladkikh and Alexander Kudryavtsev. It is from a family of fonts called TT Trailers, a new generation of narrow typefaces designed for use in movie credits and posters: “The closed aperture of the characters emphasizes the smoothness and plasticity of the letters and helps the typeface to maintain a consistent rhythm. We quite actively used ‘loops’ in the design of some letters, which, together with the contrast and humanist style give TT Trailers a slight retro touch and refer us to the cinema posters of the ’60s.” The image of the Rod of Asclepius was made by Annemarie van Haeringen.

  The cover has been edited by lithographer Bert van der Horst of BFC Graphics (Netherlands).
