Kristine Lepre

Kristine Lepre – Designer

Working with authors and publishers who care deeply about books. Strong typesetting combined with a thoughtful layout in its natural form.

Overview

It's all about balance!

An author’s manuscript is always the starting point of my inspiration. What is the author trying to convey, and how can my design and layout strengthen that story? My focus lies in contributing to that narrative. Strong typesetting combined with a thoughtful layout gives the message greater weight and creates a genuine connection with the reader.

To me, words on a page flow like music — each chapter and paragraph with its own rhythm.

My approach is firmly rooted in typographic tradition while remaining attuned to the needs of today. It is not always possible to work with a generous page design, but those very limitations often become a source of creativity. As long as everything remains in balance.

I work from my own studio, equipped with a high-end calibrated monitor to ensure accurate color and detail in every project. I also have the capability to handle my own proofing, allowing me to deliver polished, print-ready files that meet the highest standards.
