cover of O homen nu (The Nude Man) by Fernando Sabino, published by Editora do Autor, 1960
“The justified lilac and orange typography became a sort of identity that would be explored on subsequent Sabino book covers.”
.
“The few covers Feitler designed for Editora do Autor figure among the most brilliant designs of the decade. The cover for …O homen nu (The Nude Man) shows Feitler's nascent proficiency in using type and shifts of scale, which would become prominent in her later works The anthropomorphic use of the word nu (”naked") ambiguously shows the words becoming both the design and the message."
