Bold Covers and Editorial Design by Tereza Bettinardi

Brazilian designer Tereza Bettinardi creates expressive books and publications that turn typography, color and physical construction into central parts of the reading experience.

Her portfolio features vibrant palettes, unconventional type and tactile details. For Lombada, a book compiling interviews from a Brazilian design podcast, Tereza renders the cover as a cassette tape, complete with a translucent sheet and saturated pink binding. Her work for the Type Directors Club uses geometric compositions and distorted letterforms across bright, high-contrast spreads, while The Adelle Constellation, a type specimen created for TypeTogether, combines multilingual typography, planetary imagery and textured printing within a layered visual system that shifts throughout the book.

Since opening her own practice in 2014, Tereza has received recognition from several major design institutions. Alongside her studio work, she teaches graphic design and explores the relationship between design, writing and education. For more of Tereza Bettinardi’s work, check out her website.
