Move to the city #[nn]

Tom Gauld's Move to the City, published by B.ü.L.b comix in 2004, arrives with a cover that perfectly sets its contemplative tone — bold, blocky typography dominates the composition while a finely cross-hatched landscape of rolling hills and a winding road recedes into the background, a small directional arrow pointing the way forward. The interplay between the monumental lettering and the intricate, almost engraving-like scenery beneath it gives the whole thing a quiet, deliberate charm that feels distinctly Gauld's own.
