Gothic Rotunda Broad

Its lowercase is tall: the x-height is 79.6% of the cap height, against a median of 74.5% for decorative fonts, taller than 32 of the 35 other decorative fonts. Ascenders on b, d, h, k and l rise 3.3% above the capitals, and descenders on g, j, p, q and y drop 15.2% of the cap height below the baseline, shallower than 32 of the 35 other decorative fonts. Its letters are of average width for decorative fonts: an average lowercase letter, spacing included, is 74.5% as wide as the capitals are tall (an average capital, 84.7%), within 2.2% of the median. The o is an upright oval, 0.80 times as wide as it is tall, and M is the widest capital, at 1.03 times the width of H. The O stops 9.7% of the cap height short of H and dips 1.2% below the baseline.

The letters stand upright, with no measurable slant. Vertical stems measure 19.5% of the cap height, heavier than 21 of the 22 other decorative fonts. Ink covers 39.8% of each lowercase letter's box (its advance width by the cap height), darker than 24 of the 35 other decorative fonts.

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 45.9% of the cap height, and the blank space either side of a lowercase letter takes up 13.4% 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 Gothic Rotunda Broad will not line up exactly.
