Seek My Face by John Updike

This stunning design for John Updike’s Seek My Face uses Chip Kidd’s neoclassical typeface of choice, Monotype Bulmer, in its Display cut. The extreme close-up photograph (shot by Kidd’s regular collaborator Geoff Spear) alludes both to the title and the theme of the novel — the artistic avant-garde in New York during the 1950s and 1960s. The accompanying sans serif is Interstate.
