I am normally not a fan of ragged text, but I think it works well here. 9/14 DTL Documenta for the text, 8/10.5 DTL Documenta Sans for the footnotes. The column width is 2⅚", average character count ~63 for the body text, ~72 for the footnotes.
14pt is fairly generous leading, but I tend to give my text more room to breathe, and it helps my baseline math work out much better.

Embrace the rag.

Changed the rag a little so it added a few more hyphens. I dislike hyphens, but there were so few that long words were looking super awkward.
