Display Retro Bubble

With an x-height of 78.6% of the cap height, its lowercase stands above the 76.2% median for display fonts, taller than 69 of the 97 other display fonts. Ascenders on b, d, h, k and l rise 4.4% above the capitals, and descenders on g, j, p, q and y drop 7.3% of the cap height below the baseline, shallower than 96 of the 97 other display fonts. It sets wide: an average lowercase letter, spacing included, is 97% as wide as the capitals are tall (an average capital, 107.6%), 8.5% more than the median for display fonts, so the same words take a longer line. The o is wider than it is tall, 1.17 to 1, and M is the widest capital, at 1.11 times the width of H. Round letters overshoot: O rises 0.5% of the cap height above H and dips 1.1% below the baseline.

The letters stand upright, with no measurable slant. Vertical stems measure 41.5% of the cap height, the heaviest of all 44 display fonts. Ink covers 61.1% of each lowercase letter's box (its advance width by the cap height), darker than 96 of the 97 other display fonts. The contrast is mild: the sides of o and O are 1.32 times as thick as their tops and bottoms.

Its 95 characters include 52 Latin letters, plus 43 figures, punctuation marks and symbols; there are no accented Latin letters beyond A to Z. The word space measures 48.5% of the cap height, and the blank space either side of a lowercase letter takes up 10.3% 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 Display Retro Bubble will not line up exactly.
