Typography: A Real Typesetting System
Choose from 110 book typefaces with job-based metadata. Preset templates match your book type. Open-license fonts are bundled and embedded in exports. Your typography follows a semantic scale where everything is a ratio of your body size.
Why this is hard
Long manuscripts have problems that short documents do not.
Word processors are not typesetting systems. They let you pick a font and a size, but they do not understand book typography: optical sizing, leading ratios, gutter margins, genre-appropriate pairings, or how body size determines every other element on the page.
Book typography is a craft. A Garamond with a small x-height needs to be set slightly larger than a sans-serif at the same nominal size. A thriller needs different typography than a literary novel. A 5x8 trim needs a different body size than a 6x9. Getting all of this right by hand for a 300-page book is impractical.
Choose from 110 book typefaces, each with job-based metadata: role, print and ebook suitability, long-form readability, density, licensing, and pairings. Preset templates match your kind of book: Literary Fiction, Thriller, Romance, Historical, Fantasy, Classic Nonfiction, Business, Technical, Workbook, Guide, Ebook-First, Maximum Accessibility. Open-license fonts are bundled and embedded in exports. Your typography follows a semantic scale: everything is a ratio of your body size. Every font carries an optical size factor. Changing your trim size adopts the trim's body default and scales the whole hierarchy.
You pick the typefaces, the preset, and the body size. You can adjust any element in the hierarchy. Commercial and device fonts preview as approximations and export with a disclosed open substitute, always listed on the export record.
What other Inkloom features interact with it
Book Preview
Preview in three formats: print book (true to your trim's aspect ratio), e-reader (flowing, like Kindle), and editorial manuscript (double-spaced monospace). Print and manuscript previews are genuinely paginated. Click any paragraph to spot-edit.
KDP Export
Print presets in all five KDP trim sizes produce single-page PDFs with embedded fonts and gutter margins computed from page count. Kindle export is a reflowable EPUB. Also DOCX, Markdown, and plain text. A readiness check reports what needs attention before you publish.
Cover Studio
Cover Studio has two paths. Create Cover generates new cover concepts from your manuscript identity. Prepare Existing Cover takes artwork you already have and makes it print-ready. The Print Cover Calculator computes exact spine width, wraparound dimensions, and barcode clear zone for both paths.
