About the design process
Jane Austen’s novel is seemingly romantic, in many ways a sarcastic, faithful age painting. The iconic peacock motif is not included in the book, the legacy of the cover of the first edition was a perfect choice for the mood and emotional expression of the work, and the work has been identified with the peacock ever since. The concept of the cover is to rethink this motif in a way that unites typography.
