I've been using half-letter instead of A5, as i reasoned that printing half-letter on A5 gives wider gutters while printing A5 on half-letter gives wider top and bottom margins. Somehow, that translated in my non-design-trained head as being a nicer whitespace to aid reading. Does that make sense, or am i just overthinking it? Either way, thanks for the gorgeous template!

The US Half Letter is only about .2 inches taller than the A5 at the expense of being almost .3 inches narrower.
I think in the case of this template, width is more valuable than length. The narrower your paragraphs, the choppier the writing can feel.
That said, the change can feel pretty minimal. It depends on the project!
Some tips for readability:
That makes sense!
Thanks for sharing- looking forwards to putting something together with this!
