Much of Champ Fleury is dedicated to the geometric construction of Roman letters and type. The invented “A” and “Z” on the front and back covers are compositions referencing the illustrations in the text. The triangular form on the front is a nod to several shaped type pages. These are often found at the end of a chapter or colophon.
