The size for this years (or last) Kancil Awards annual is 21cm x 28cm. Paper is sponsored by Antalis Malaysia; Fine Print Edixion Matt White 120GSM. Probably the only book I’ve worked with up to date with the tightest kerning (generally). General typographic rules are to allow extra kerning on text in all caps but in this scenario, unkerned, and even decreased kerning points in certain cases.

Typeface is H&F Knockout. Set in 12 columns with 9.638pt of gutter space. Baseline grids are set to increase every 4.286pt.
