The Ghost Stories of Edith Wharton
The redesign of "The Ghost Stories of Edith Wharton" is an exercise in traditional book design, with the core objective of transporting the reader to the era in which the stories were written while presenting the book in a way that resonates with a modern audience. The project's central focus was to revive the stylistic elements of that period, ensuring the design felt both authentic to its time and relevant today.

Evoking a different time
The design utilizes a classic approach to paging and typography, with a focus on creating a layout that is both legible and aesthetically pleasing. The typography choices evoke the elegance of late 19th and early 20th-century publications, while the spacing and margins are adjusted for comfortable reading in the current day. The cover design itself is a tactile experience, with embossed, intricate detailing that echoes the ornate bindings of books from that era.
