Inkline Signature

Its lowercase sits low: the x-height is 45.2% of the cap height, where the median for script fonts is 48.4%, lower than 49 of the 53 other script fonts. Ascenders on b, d, h, k and l line up with the capitals (99.2% of their height), and descenders on g, j, p, q and y drop 53.3% of the cap height below the baseline, deeper than 49 of the 53 other script fonts. Inkline Signature runs 6.2% wider than the median for script fonts: an average lowercase letter, spacing included, is 68.1% as wide as the capitals are tall (an average capital, 116.9%). The o is wider than it is tall, 1.71 to 1, and M is the widest capital, at 1.04 times the width of H. O stands exactly as tall as H and sits on the baseline, with no overshoot.

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 34.4% of the cap height, and lowercase letters reach 28.3% past their own widths into the space of their neighbours. Spacing is adjusted with 56 kerning pairs, more than 46 of the 53 other script fonts. The tightest of them is FA, which closes up by 30.1% of the cap height.
