Its x-height is 73.5% of the cap height, near the 73.5% typical of display fonts in the library, taller than 86 of the 173 other display fonts. Ascenders on b, d, h, k and l rise 3.3% above the capitals, and descenders on g, j, p, q and y drop 24.3% of the cap height below the baseline, shallower than 91 of the 173 other display fonts. Its letters are of average width for display fonts: an average lowercase letter, spacing included, is 84.6% as wide as the capitals are tall (an average capital, 96.6%), within 0.8% of the median. The o is close to a circle, 1.08 times as wide as it is tall, and W is the widest capital, at 1.19 times the width of H. Round letters overshoot: O rises 0.9% of the cap height above H and dips 1.1% below the baseline.

The letters stand upright, with no measurable slant. Vertical stems measure 30.3% of the cap height, heavier than 76 of the 90 other display fonts. Ink covers 56% of each lowercase letter's box (its advance width by the cap height), darker than 164 of the 173 other display fonts. The contrast is mild: the sides of o and O are 1.24 times as thick as their tops and bottoms.

Its 148 characters include 105 Latin letters, plus 43 figures, punctuation marks and symbols; 53 of the Latin letters are accented or special forms beyond A to Z. The word space measures 45.8% of the cap height, and the blank space either side of a lowercase letter takes up 12% of its width. The font carries no kerning, so spacing comes from each letter’s own side bearings. The figures have different widths, so columns of numbers set in Bubble Pillow Square will not line up exactly.
