Rounded Humanist Terminal

Its x-height is 70.9% of the cap height, near the 71.1% typical of sans serif fonts in the library, lower than 9 of the 16 other sans serif fonts. Ascenders on b, d, h, k and l line up with the capitals (98.9% of their height), and descenders on g, j, p, q and y drop 28.9% of the cap height below the baseline, deeper than 8 of the 16 other sans serif fonts. It sets wide: an average lowercase letter, spacing included, is 104.3% as wide as the capitals are tall (an average capital, 104.9%), 7.4% more than the median for sans serif fonts, so the same words take a longer line. 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 1.12 times the width of H. The O stops 6.3% of the cap height short of H and stands 6.3% above the baseline.

The letters lean about 3° to the right, where most sans serif fonts in the library stand upright. Vertical stems measure 9.7% of the cap height, heavier than 11 of the 16 other sans serif fonts. Ink covers 18.7% of each lowercase letter's box (its advance width by the cap height), lighter than 9 of the 16 other sans serif fonts. Rounded Humanist Terminal comes in Regular and Bold; Bold puts down 23% more ink than Regular.

Its 159 characters include 116 Latin letters, plus 43 figures, punctuation marks and symbols; 64 of the Latin letters are accented or special forms beyond A to Z. The word space measures 50.7% of the cap height, and the blank space either side of a lowercase letter takes up 33.4% of its width. The font carries no kerning, so spacing comes from each letter’s own side bearings. All ten figures share one width, so columns of numbers line up.
