Whilst the second cover is certainly a big improvement over the first, I don’t think the way the type is handled on the second cover is particularly good. In many ways it’s actually quite amateurish and shows some quite basic errors in typographic layout.
If you’re you’re going to treat ‘of an’ in the title in that way (one stacked on top of the other) you really need to ensure that type block either aligns correctly with Enemy or deliberately recede it back by making it smaller. At the moment OF sticks above the height line of ENEMY and it creates visual disharmony.
The whole of the title ‘The Enemy of an Enemy’ is poorly considered and fights with the rest of the type on the page for dominance.
I’m sorry to say it, but whoever designed that cover severely lacks an understanding of typographic layout.
