Cursive Letterpress Slant

With an x-height of 62.5% of the cap height, its lowercase stands above the 48.4% median for script fonts, taller than 50 of the 53 other script fonts. Ascenders on b, d, h, k and l rise 10.6% above the capitals, and descenders on g, j, p, q and y drop 26.4% of the cap height below the baseline, shallower than 52 of the 53 other script fonts. It sets wide: an average lowercase letter, spacing included, is 88.5% as wide as the capitals are tall (an average capital, 94.7%), 38.1% more than the median for script fonts, so the same words take a longer line. The o is wider than it is tall, 1.61 to 1, and Z is the widest capital, at 1.24 times the width of H. The O stops 3.8% of the cap height short of H and stands 7.2% above the baseline.

The letters lean roughly 20° to the right. Ink covers 27.5% of each lowercase letter's box (its advance width by the cap height), darker than 34 of the 53 other script fonts. The contrast is mild: the sides of o and O are 1.47 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 45.3% of the cap height, and the blank space either side of a lowercase letter takes up 3.5% 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 Cursive Letterpress Slant will not line up exactly.
