Book Interior Design Services by itemzero

Expert Typesetting, Formatting, and Layout for Books That Deserve to Be Read and Remembered.

Studio/Book Design/interior

At Itemzero, we transform manuscripts into elegantly structured pages that honor the content, captivate the reader, and express the voice of the author. From fiction and non-fiction to art books, academic works, and cultural publications, our team brings together award-winning design, technical precision, and an unmistakable sense of visual authorship.

We offer complete interior book design, including typesetting, formatting, and custom page layout services, crafted with care by real designers — not templates.

Simple. Elegant. Clear.

Artful Layout, Editorial Clarity

We treat every page as a canvas. Our layouts are clean, purposeful, and sensitive to tone — whether designing a poetic novel, a research thesis, or a monograph. Readers don’t notice the design — they feel it.

Typographic Craft from a Typefoundry Studio

We don’t choose fonts — we create them. As a working type foundry, we offer access to original typefaces at no extra cost, allowing you to publish with a distinct, contemporary typographic identity aligned with your book’s voice.

Formatting that Fits the Medium

Whether your book is intended for print, print-on-demand, offset, or eBook conversion, our formatting is engineered for the correct specifications. From margins and bleeds to print-ready PDFs and EPUB exports — we handle the details you shouldn’t have to worry about.

From One Author to Another

We’ve published our own books on typography, paper, binding, and design. We understand your path. That’s why we keep the process human, transparent, and grounded — from the first consultation to the final file.

Designed for Institutions & Cultural Projects

We collaborate with museums, architecture firms, universities, and NGOs on bilingual publications, catalogs, and complex editorial objects. Institutional publishing often requires precision, structure, and sensitivity — we deliver that without losing creative soul.

Tailored Services for Self-Publishers & Indie Authors

You don’t need to be a publisher to publish like one. We offer clear, well-defined design packs for fiction, nonfiction, and image-based books. Our process is simple, our prices transparent, and the result always sophisticated.

Multi-language & Multiscript Expertise

Need to publish in Portuguese, English, or both? We’re based in Lisbon but work globally, and our typography and page layout work supports multilingual and multiscript book design with fluency and respect.

Award-Winning Design Team

We’ve received recognition for our editorial design and typography work internationally — but what matters most is creating timeless, usable design that authors and readers love.

Design That Respects the Reader

Good typesetting disappears. Our interior design invites the reader in, guides the eye, and gives space for thought. The result? A reading experience that’s immersive and dignified.

🎨 Our Process

Every book has its own rhythm. Here’s how we make yours flow.

1. Discovery – We review your manuscript and goals.
2. Design Direction – We suggest typographic tone and layout direction.
3. Typesetting & Layout – We execute and polish with detail and style.
4. Review & Adjustments – 1–2 rounds of feedback.
