Mark Simonson’s Mostra Nuova started appearing on Mary Higgins Clark’s covers as early as 2018. Over time, Simon & Schuster has re-issued this #1 New York Times bestselling author’s books to garner attention from new readers. The drama of the typeface plays into these beloved author’s suspense novels. So often, redesigns are not an improvement, but seeing them all gathered together is impressive and Mostra Nuova sets the mood so well.
On the use of his Mostra Nuova for these titles, Simonson said, “It’s always a thrill to see one of my fonts used on a book cover. It’s a whole other level to see it used across an entire series.”
