    font-style: normal;
    src: url("../fonts/00001.ttf");
}
p.subsq {
    margin-top: 0.7em;
    orphans: 2;
}
p, li {
    hyphens: auto;
    adobe-hyphenate: auto;
    -webkit-hyphens: auto;
    -webkit-hyphenate-limit-lines: 2;
    -webkit-hyphenate-limit-after: 4;
    -webkit-hyphenate-limit-before: 4;
}
body {
    font-family: Palatino, serif;
    font-weight: 400;
    font-style: normal;
}
span.smallcaps {
    font-variant-numeric: normal;
    font-variant: small-caps;
    font-variant-alternates: normal;
    font-variant-position: normal;
    font-variant-east-asian: normal;
    letter-spacing: 0.04em;
    font-variant-ligatures: none;
}
.heading {
    margin-bottom: 2em;
}
p.alignment-block-content-left {
    text-align: left;
}

@font-face, p (with the hyphen code), body, and heading all get deleted. p.subsq gets changed to text-indent: 1.2em;. The letter-spacing in the smallcaps code goes. And any instance of text-align: left; also goes.

I also remove unused CSS. I add in my body and my h1 code. I remove unused divs and spans. That's all I need to do in most cases.

I grabbed the sample of The Standoff by Scott Blade from Amazon and looked at it's code. Perhaps you should have included the p entry between the @fontface and p.subsq entries? I'm still curious as how that gives you indents on every paragraph? While the margin-top in the subsequent paragraphs style would give a space between paragraphs since there is no text indent specified, I can't see your indent and paragraph space complaint. While I prefer an indent and no space, space and no indent is a valid choice. As for removing unused or undefined code, Delete unused stylesheet selectors and cssUndefinedClasses do a decent job of cleanup.

Spoiler:

p {
    margin-bottom: 0px;
    text-indent: 0px;
    margin-top: 0px;
    text-align: justify;
}

The code I replace the body, p and p.subsq with is below:

body {
  display: block;
  font-size: 1em;
  margin: 0 0 0 0;
  padding: 0 0 0 0;
  text-indent: 0;
  widows: 1;
  orphans: 1;
}

p {
  margin: 0 0 0 0;
  padding: 0.1em 0 0 0;
  margin-block-end: 0em;
  }

p.subsq {
  text-indent: 1.25em;
}

I must thank you for bring yet another variant of Vellum stylesheets to my attention.

Edit: And just perhaps if we wish to continue this discussion, it should be moved to a new thread in a more relevant forum.
