Questions

How big is the Hawthman PCB?

It measures 114.3 × 91.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Hawthman use?

65 parts, built around the MCP23017-E/SS. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Hawthman KiCad files?

From the Hawthman/Normkey repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/hawthman.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Hawthman design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Hawthman before reusing the design.
