Validation for custom layout design: Months of tweaking typography & stroke guides paid off with a Top 50 ranking!
As an independent designer, it's easy to second-guess every pixel when building a 124-page instructional book from scratch.
I spent months manually balancing line heights, custom slant angles, and stroke progressions specifically for a teen-to-adult audience (trying to avoid the childish aesthetic that dominates the category).
Woke up today to see it hit #47 in Typography on Amazon! Seeing a design-first approach actually perform against mass-market workbooks is a huge relief. For anyone else building detailed layout projects right now—keep tweaking the details, it matters!
