Publication
The In Design Template for the final publication is located here.
You’ll find typefaces in the Fonts folder. To install them on a Mac simply double click the downloaded .otf file and choose ‘install.’ To install them in Windows, drag the .otf files to the System / Fonts folder.
Book Format
The book will be A5 paper format. Unlike Imperial paper formats (Letter, Tabloid, etc.), ISO A formats are all the same proportion. A0, A1, A2, A3, or A4 formats can be reduced to fit A5 without cropping. Further, two A5 sheets in landscape add up to one A4 in portrait, two A4s half an A3, and so on.
