Geo Sans Round

Its x-height is 70.4% of the cap height, near the 71.1% typical of sans serif fonts in the library, lower than 10 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 29.6% of the cap height below the baseline, deeper than 9 of the 16 other sans serif fonts. It sets wide: an average lowercase letter, spacing included, is 108.6% as wide as the capitals are tall (an average capital, 109.3%), 11.8% more than the median for sans serif fonts, so the same words take a longer line. 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. O stands exactly as tall as H and sits on the baseline, with no overshoot.

The letters stand upright, with no measurable slant. Vertical stems measure 11.3% of the cap height, heavier than 14 of the 16 other sans serif fonts. Ink covers 21.8% of each lowercase letter's box (its advance width by the cap height), darker than 9 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 226 characters include 116 Latin and 66 Cyrillic letters, plus 44 figures, punctuation marks and symbols; 64 of the Latin letters are accented or special forms beyond A to Z. The word space measures 52.9% of the cap height, and the blank space either side of a lowercase letter takes up 31.2% 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.
