“Black Swan” is a typography book exploring the theme of obsession, particularly with perfection and success in a highly competitive world. It delves into the protagonist’s struggle with her identity, as she navigates between her innocent, white swan persona and her darker, seductive black swan persona. The type, in the book, is set in Garamond Pro at 10/12. Printed on seed paper with corset binding, a cross-stitched title, and India ink treatment. The corset binding adds a physical dimension to the metaphor of restriction and control. The corset, historically a symbol of both beauty and confinement, represents the tightening grip of the protagonist’s obsession.
