Summary

For this edition of Beowulf, as translated by J. Lesslie Hall, I had to tackle a layout with three different types of marginalia: line numbers, asides, and footnotes.

Description

For the cover, I created a Viking ship on the water using typographical ornaments. These were then echoed in the title page.
