Hire the best book typographers in Birmingham

Typography is far more nuanced than simply choosing fonts. Book covers (or interiors) that look unprofessional and feel difficult to read are likely a result of poor typography. That’s why hiring a great book typographer is so crucial — so potential readers aren’t put off by preventable aesthetic issues.

Hiring a professional typographer to design your title text is especially important, this is where readers will decide whether your book looks interesting, but it’s important not to neglect the interior. The best typographers can do both, and they understand typographical conventions of each genre, subtleties of lettering, and can even design custom typefaces unique to your book.

If you’re looking for a professional typographer in Birmingham, we can help. Here at Reedsy, we’ve curated a community of the best book typographers — many of whom have experience working with the biggest publications. So, you can be sure they’ll get your cover and interior looking right. Don’t take any chances with your book — sign up to Reedsy and hire a great typographer in Birmingham today.
