Geo Hex Grotesk

Geo Hex Grotesk's lowercase x reaches 69.8% of the capital height, close to the 71.1% median for sans serif fonts, lower than 11 of the 16 other sans serif fonts. Ascenders on b, d, h, k and l line up with the capitals (100% of their height), and descenders on g, j, p, q and y drop 30.2% of the cap height below the baseline, deeper than 10 of the 16 other sans serif fonts. Geo Hex Grotesk runs 14.2% wider than the median for sans serif fonts: an average lowercase letter, spacing included, is 110.9% as wide as the capitals are tall (an average capital, 111.6%). The o is close to a circle, 1.13 times as wide as it is tall, and M and W are the widest capitals, at 1.12 times the width of H. The O stops 4.7% of the cap height short of H and stands 4.7% above the baseline.

The letters stand upright, with no measurable slant. Vertical stems measure 9.5% of the cap height, heavier than 10 of the 16 other sans serif fonts. Ink covers 18.1% of each lowercase letter's box (its advance width by the cap height), lighter than 10 of the 16 other sans serif fonts. Strokes keep one thickness in every direction: the sides of o and O measure the same as their tops and bottoms.

Its 228 characters include 116 Latin and 69 Greek letters, plus 43 figures, punctuation marks and symbols; 64 of the Latin letters are accented or special forms beyond A to Z. The word space measures 54% of the cap height, and the blank space either side of a lowercase letter takes up 34.6% of its width. The font carries no kerning, so spacing comes from each letter’s own side bearings. All ten figures share one width, so columns of numbers line up.
