Monument 3D

Its lowercase sits low: the x-height is 71% of the cap height, where the median for display fonts is 76.2%, lower than 80 of the 97 other display 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 28.8% of the cap height below the baseline, deeper than 88 of the 97 other display fonts. Monument 3D runs 8.5% narrower than the median for display fonts: an average lowercase letter, spacing included, is 81.8% as wide as the capitals are tall (an average capital, 89.8%). The o is close to a circle, 1.05 times as wide as it is tall, and M and W are the widest capitals, at 1.09 times the width of H. The O tops out level with H and stands 1.1% above the baseline.

Ink covers 36.1% of each lowercase letter's box (its advance width by the cap height), lighter than 67 of the 97 other display fonts. Each letter carries a solid 3D extrusion joined to its face.

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 31.2% of the cap height, and the blank space either side of a lowercase letter takes up 5.2% of its width. Spacing is adjusted with 238 kerning pairs, more than 87 of the 97 other display fonts. The tightest of them is VA, which closes up by 26.3% of the cap height. The figures have different widths, so columns of numbers set in Monument 3D will not line up exactly.
