Llechi

Inside the image.

A square cover is filled edge to edge with a close-up photograph of layered grey slate. Broad, uneven sheets run diagonally across the frame: a dark, shadowed overhang occupies the upper left, while paler fractured slabs angle down from the upper right towards the centre. Across the lower half, a flatter slate surface shows fine grain, pale speckling, hairline cracks and chipped edges. A narrow, lighter broken edge cuts across the lower right. The layers and their shadows give the otherwise flat stone image a shallow sense of depth. Colours range from charcoal and blue-grey in the upper left to silver, muted grey and faint brownish tones across the centre and bottom; the lighting picks out rough, granular surfaces while leaving the upper layers in deep shadow.

Large, thin, white serif capitals spelling “LLECHI” sit across the upper-left and central area. The letters are widely spaced and tall, with the final letter extending towards the smaller text at right. Beside and just below it, a compact block of bold, condensed white capitals is aligned to the right. It reads “CASGLIAD O GANEUON / SYDD WEDI EU HYSBRYDOLI / GAN GYMUNEDAU / AC ARDALLOEDD Y LLECHI”, followed by a gap and “A COLLECTION OF SONGS / INSPIRED BY THE SLATE REGIONS / AND COMMUNITIES / OF NORTH WALES”. The small lettering lies over the darker and mid-grey stone, remaining distinct against its irregular texture. There is no border or separate framing; the photograph and typography fill the cover.
