A bold and subversive retelling of the goddess’s story, Circe manages to be both epic and intimate in its scope, recasting the most infamous female figure from the Odyssey as a hero in her own right.” — Alexandra Alter, New York Times
Striking use of copper foil on this jacket design for Madeline Miller’s Circe — and if you turn the book a certain way, her eyes jump out at you! The type appears to be a customized Gill Sans. This cover was selected as one of the New York Times’ 12 Best Book Covers of 2018.

Hi!
Can anyone identify the font used in the main text body? I have seen it before but can’t identify it.
Thanks!
Hi Brita, it’s one of the digital versions of Electra. I’ve added one image from the interior above.
And Electra is a name with classical provenance, too! Coincidence?
Good catch, Chris!
