Nova Stella is a striking book cover inspired by an eighteenth-century binding of Missale Sacri Ordinis Praedicatorum, published in 1789. Featuring a central star motif, the design draws on celestial imagery and evokes the guiding light of the North Star. It reflects the Settecento period, when bookbinding structures became simpler while decorative elements grew increasingly elaborate.
