Lithos was newly released when I designed this book for Broken Moon Press, a new edition of poet William Everson’s 1976 book-length poem. His long, long lines dictated a large, nearly square format (10 × 9.5 inches). I had the body set in Méridien (not pictured), but for the cover and title page I chose Lithos for its earthy strength, and because its wonderful Greek-inspired Y would repeat in the subtitle.
