Notch Terminal Sans

Its lowercase is tall: the x-height is 77% of the cap height, against a median of 71.6% for sans serif fonts, taller than 34 of the 35 other sans serif fonts. Ascenders on b, d, h, k and l line up with the capitals (101% of their height), and descenders on g, j, p, q and y drop 23.3% of the cap height below the baseline, the shallowest of all 36 sans serif fonts. Its letters are of average width for sans serif fonts: an average lowercase letter, spacing included, is 76.3% as wide as the capitals are tall (an average capital, 87.2%), within 2.4% of the median. The o is close to a circle, 0.94 times as wide as it is tall, and W is the widest capital, at 1.12 times the width of H. Round letters overshoot: O rises 2.1% of the cap height above H and dips 1.1% below the baseline.

The letters stand upright, with no measurable slant. Vertical stems measure 15.6% of the cap height, heavier than 20 of the 28 other sans serif fonts. Ink covers 41.1% of each lowercase letter's box (its advance width by the cap height), darker than 26 of the 35 other sans serif fonts. The contrast is mild: the sides of o and O are 1.20 times as thick as their tops and bottoms.

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 13.7% 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 Notch Terminal Sans will not line up exactly.
