Green Dot is the first novel of writer Madeleine Gray. Published in the UK by Weidenfeld & Nicolson, the book was praised by Caitlin Moran for its humorous take on an office relationship, and was shortlisted for the 2025 British Book Awards Debut Fiction Book of the Year.
The book and associated marketing make use of the font Droog, designed by Rian Hughes and released through Device. On the cover of the edition shown here, Droog is embossed in a glossy finish that gives tactile contrast to the flat, bold colours of the illustration.
The title of the book references the ‘green dot’ that indicates a person’s presence online – a motif echoed visually by the circular font and its distinctive holes, some of which are used in lieu of counters.
Cover design by Steve Marking with illustration by Tatyana Alanis.
