Cute Storybook Round

Its lowercase sits low: the x-height is 70.2% of the cap height, where the median for display fonts is 76.2%, lower than 86 of the 97 other display fonts. Ascenders on b, d, h, k and l rise 12.2% above the capitals, and descenders on g, j, p, q and y drop 24.2% of the cap height below the baseline, deeper than 56 of the 97 other display fonts. Cute Storybook Round runs 13.5% narrower than the median for display fonts: an average lowercase letter, spacing included, is 77.3% as wide as the capitals are tall (an average capital, 85.5%). The o is close to a circle, 0.96 times as wide as it is tall, and W is the widest capital, at 1.02 times the width of H. The O stops 9.1% of the cap height short of H and dips 1.1% below the baseline.

The letters stand upright, with no measurable slant. Vertical stems measure 25.4% of the cap height, heavier than 28 of the 43 other display fonts. Ink covers 49.2% of each lowercase letter's box (its advance width by the cap height), darker than 77 of the 97 other display fonts. It is close to monoline, with the sides of o and O 1.08 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 12.9% 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 Cute Storybook Round will not line up exactly.
