A Note on Fonts
The text of this book is Minion Pro, a typeface designed in the 1990s by Robert Slimbach and inspired by the typefaces developed in the late Renaissance era.
Weregirl’s title font is True North, designed by Cindy Kinash and Charles Gibbons. Cindy creates fonts and designs from Vancouver, and Charles is the chief designer for the U.S. Copyright office. The other font used on the cover of this book is Ruskin, which was created by Michael Harvey and Andrs Benedek as a commission for signs for the Dean Gallery in Edinburgh.
Every chapter begins with the fanciful letters of Jellyka Castle’s Queen, designed by Jellyka Nereven aka Jessica, who has been designing fonts for the past fifteen years, since she was 13 years old.
