Print & digital Sustainable Typesetting®
Did you know, that for most books produced today 20% saving can be done without compromising readability? Your book will be 400 pages instead of 500, with the exact same word count, and arguably, more readable - your data file and digital footprint will also decrease.
Readability and design is paramount. Sustainable Typesetting® is the result of solving a multi-factored equation, that requires professional typeface design, book design and typesetting.
The exact number of pages saved will vary depending on the the type of book. In the Sustainable Typesetting®-guidelines, we take everything into account: The book has to be readable and have an appealing design and layout for it to be sold. But on top of that, we reduce the amount of pages, to make a more environmental friendly product. That is what we call Sustainable Typesetting™.
This requires an in-depth knowledge of type design, layout, readability and much more – knowledge we have accumulated through 35 years of working with complex books and typesettings.
Comparison with industry standards
Digital Carbon footprint
The data file of your product also creates emissions. Our typefaces ensures that the digital footprint is reduced as well. The reduction is not always just 20-30-40%. We often see a fives times! decrease compared to traditional typefaces.
