Font Style
On the 15th March I sent a paragraph of my foreword to a number of fellow students to get feedback on which font would work best for the book. The pdf file of the different fonts can be found here:

The following responses can be seen here.
Reflection on Feedback
Well from the feedback there was a fifty/fifty split between the Times New Roman and the Open Sans. As these are both free with the InDesign software and are commonly used fonts, I won’t need to purchase the licence to use the ‘Geography’ font I tried as an alternative.
There were a number of comments around font size in the initial feedback which seems to have resulted in a size of no more than 12 for the main written sections and a dark grey not a fully black ink.
