Design language
One thin-line voice: single weight, rounded ends, drawn from the calligraphic mark. Everything inherits the brown-gold, so it sits in the page instead of decorating it.
Four ways to draw it. The ogee is the one I would make the signature; the others are here so you can feel the range from plain to ornate.
Each one earns its place against the book: a reason to exist, not a stock pictogram.
Same icons, camel on near-black, for the quote band and the final call.
A small icon over each eyebrow gives every section the same quiet rhythm.

The author photo and the hardcover both sit better inside an arch than a plain square. It reads as a mihrab, a threshold, without saying it out loud.
I have gone deep so you do not have to start from scratch.
A small arch in place of the rule above each "who this is for" line.
