Alright, I know this may be an "oh no... not Twilight?" I say, the combination of the different font faces not only allows the artwork to stand out alone, but bring together the elegance of what the series is all about. I only show one of the book covers because pretty much the rest of the book covers have the same typeface combination. What makes it great is for the title, Zephyr (which I believe was custom created just for the series), it brings in the mystical feeling with the use of curves (ex. in the loop of the g and the link in the w). I don't know how to feel about the tallness of the ascender in the middle l. The other typefaces for the author and "The #1 New York Times Bestseller" line are of the Trade Gothic typeface (the first line being Trade Gothic LtStd - Light and the second Trade Gothic Bold Ext.). They're subtle but noticeable enough to not ruin the overall vibe of the book cover. Overall, even though Zephyr is definitely a trend font, this may be used in other future projects of graphic designers thanks to this book cover.
