Any Human Heart. The Intimate Journals of Logan Mountstuart by William Boyd was first published in 2002 and nominated for the Booker Prize. Shown here is the TOC edition from 2022. It was printed in dark blue with a matching dark blue sewn binding. The letterpress printing was done by Die Lettertypen on an original 1954 Heidelberg cylinder. Set in Guyot by Ramiro Espinoza, plus FF Real and Haus Stencil by Erik Spiekermann. TOC comments on the typography:

Ramiro Espinoza studied type-design in The Hague and in Antwerp. There he came across the work of a lesser-known French punchcutter, François Guyot, who worked in Antwerp during the sixteenth century. Espinoza’s design combines the elegance of the historic model with contemporary efficiency. A good Italic was needed to distinguish the comments between the sections of the story. We also used swashes and embellishments, which suit the wide range of Boyd/Mountstuart’s imagination. Any Human Heart is written as a diary, conjuring the image of a printed calendar where you tear off a little note every new day. The aptly named Haus Stencil (initially designed for door numbers) gave us this look and provided a spot of color on the page.
