\setuppapersize[A4][A4]
\setupencoding[default=texnansi]
\setupbodyfont[cmr,14.4pt]

\def\GoldenRatio{1.61803}
\setbox0\hbox{\dorecurse{26}{\character\recurselevel}}

\setuplayout[width=2.5\wd0,
             header=\lineheight,
             footer=\lineheight,
             height=\GoldenRatio\makeupwidth,
             footerdistance=\dimexpr(
             (\makeupheight-37\lineheight-\headerheight-\footerheight) /2),
