Kids Crayon Print

The x-height is a compact 61.7% of the cap height, below the 73.3% median for handwriting fonts, the lowest of all 22 handwriting fonts. Ascenders on b, d, h, k and l stop at 96% of the capital height, and descenders on g, j, p, q and y drop 29.6% of the cap height below the baseline, deeper than 19 of the 21 other handwriting fonts. It sets narrow: an average lowercase letter, spacing included, is 64.4% as wide as the capitals are tall (an average capital, 76.3%), 13.9% less than the median for handwriting fonts, so more words fit on a line. The o is close to a circle, 0.94 times as wide as it is tall, and M is the widest capital, at 1.15 times the width of H. The O stops 3% of the cap height short of H and stands 1.9% above the baseline.

The letters stand upright, with no measurable slant. Ink covers 33% of each lowercase letter's box (its advance width by the cap height), lighter than 14 of the 21 other handwriting 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 46.1% of the cap height, and the blank space either side of a lowercase letter takes up 15.8% 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 Kids Crayon Print will not line up exactly.
