Over smaak valt te twisten. Maar wat is volgens u het mooiste lettertype en hoe groot mag dat zijn voor een boek? En wat valt er nog te zeggen over de regelafstand en de regellengte in een A5-formaat boek?

As you said, many design aspects, especially 'beauty', are a matter of taste.

Nevertheless, regarding typography & legibility / readability there exist some 'rules' as results of 'scientific studies', for instance about min./max. number of characters per line (e.g. 65), serif vs. grotesque fonts (e.g. serif), relationship between font size & leading (e.g. 120%) or between x-height & a-/descender of characters, et al. – For instance:
