The Hunger Artist E-pub

The Hunger Artist is a short story by Franz Kafka. For this project, I had to turn this short story into an e-publication with only type. No images, no illustrations, no photos, just type + typographic elements. This was a challenge, because this meant that I had to convey the themes and feelings the story gave off, but only through typography–whilst making sure that the type was for the most part, still legible. 

​

Pictured below are some pages from the final e-publication. I took advantage of the fact that this was a type heavy project and made multiple display pages featuring some of the quotes and phrases that stood out to me. If you'd like to read the full e-publication I designed, click HERE.

Typefaces used are: Mad Sans, Mad Serif, Quadrat, and Zebrawood
