About
About Catenary Stem Sans Outline
The x-height is a compact 67.8% of the cap height, below the 72.4% median for sans serif fonts, the lowest of all 48 sans serif fonts. Ascenders on b, d, h, k and l line up with the capitals (98.1% of their height), and descenders on g, j, p, q and y drop 30.1% of the cap height below the baseline, deeper than 36 of the 47 other sans serif fonts. It sets narrow: an average lowercase letter, spacing included, is 68.3% as wide as the capitals are tall (an average capital, 78%), 11.3% less than the median for sans serif fonts, so more words fit on a line. The o is close to a circle, 0.95 times as wide as it is tall, and W is the widest capital, at 1.33 times the width of H. The O tops out level with H and dips 2.5% below the baseline.
Ink covers 15.1% of each lowercase letter's box (its advance width by the cap height), lighter than 46 of the 47 other sans serif fonts.
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 44.7% of the cap height, and the blank space either side of a lowercase letter takes up 14.9% 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 Catenary Stem Sans Outline will not line up exactly.
Catenary Stem Sans Outline is drawn on the same letter structure as one other font in the library.
Measured from the version 0.1.0 font file. Comparisons are with the 467 library fonts measured on October 6, 2026, 48 of them sans serif fonts.
