Typography That Disappears Into the Story

Good typesetting is invisible. We balance font size, line spacing and margins so your text is comfortable to read for hours, and we eliminate widows, orphans and awkward word breaks along the way.

  • Genre appropriate font pairings
  • Styled chapter openers and scene breaks
  • Consistent headers, footers and page numbers

Digital Files That Behave on Every Device

An eBook has to look good on a phone, a tablet and an e-reader. We build clean, validated files with working links, proper navigation and images that scale correctly.

  • Clickable table of contents
  • Validated EPUB and Kindle files
  • Tested across popular reading apps
Complex layout with photos and captions

Workbooks, Cookbooks and Illustrated Titles

Some books need more than flowing text. We handle tables, sidebars, captions, recipes, worksheets and full color photo layouts while keeping the design consistent from cover to cover.

  • Tables, charts and callout boxes
  • Image placement and captions
  • Fixed layout options when needed

Cyrill Powell

Hexa Book Publishers created an attractive cover that offers a strong aesthetic appeal. It relates the entire story in a single picture without opening the book. In addition, the typography communicates emotions and sentiments clearly. I strongly recommend them to all book geeks!
