Data

Measurements behind Kernsetzer’s tools and guides, made with the same typesetting that sets the finished book. Each comes with its method, its limits, a version and the files to download, and you can use it freely as long as you name the source.

• Words per book pageHow many words fit on a printed page at eight trim sizes and 10, 11 and 12 pt, in English and German, for fiction and non-fiction. As CSV and JSON.

The figures come from Kernsetzer’s own renderer and from published figures I check and date, never from rules of thumb. The free tools use them, and more will follow here as I measure them.
