The Emblem

Typography

The set above is all Fraunces (my rec). Here is “Enough.” in the alternatives if you want a different feel. Red period is the constant.

My pick: Gold Torso (most striking, most on-topic) or The Anatomy (same energy, and it is illustration so there is no AI-photo risk at all), both in Fraunces. Tell me the one to ship and I will build it into the guide cover at full resolution and take this page down. Photo picks (Fuel, Cut, Hercules) I would swap for a licensed real shot before final.
