A Land Once Magic is a tabletop role-playing game written by Viditya Voleti, edited by Charu Chandni Patel, and published by moreblueberries. The cover and interior feature the art of John Gagne and graphic design by Luna P.
During gameplay, the players get together to create a fantasy world, by drawing from a poker card deck and answering questions about the land.
Viditya tasked me with capturing the game's focus on unconventional, postmodern fantasy with the book's design. Along with Viditya, Charu and Elliot, we each contributed a bit of our cultures to the iconography for the game, which features in the covers and in the chapters, forming a flower-shaped mandala.
As a nod to a previous edition of the game (which used a font with romanesque characteristics), the font Forevs by OH no Type Co. was chosen for its alternate A inspired by Weiß-Initialen, and its flared serifs which echo the flower pattern used in the mandala. Different weights are used through out the book in titles.
Additionally, Fern by DJR is used for body text, along with Underware’s Zeitung Micro in tables and page numbers, and Dave Rowland’s Margot for its poker suit symbols.
