Austrian author Jaqueline Scheiber – best known for her essay collections and cultural commentary – launched her fiction career with Dreimeterdreißig, a love-and-loss story set in a Viennese altbau, where the 3.30-metre ceilings become silent witnesses. The debut quickly climbed into the top 10 of Austria’s national fiction bestseller list.

Sellerie Studio’s cover artwork showcases two phospho typefaces: the title stretches along a spiralling paper ribbon in the reversed-stress sans Antipol Variable, while the author’s name stands out in the warm italic serif Gyst. A pink-blue hourglass backs the paper ribbon which doubles as both measuring tape and falling sand. The cover fuses Vienna’s typical ceiling height (3.30 m) with the idea of slipping time to create an immediately legible image. Inside the book, playful Antipol headings are combined with Baskerville body text.
