Script 3D

Its lowercase is tall: the x-height is 52.8% of the cap height, against a median of 48.4% for script fonts, taller than 43 of the 53 other script fonts. Ascenders on b, d, h, k and l line up with the capitals (99.3% of their height), and descenders on g, j, p, q and y drop 45.7% of the cap height below the baseline, shallower than 40 of the 53 other script fonts. Its letters are of average width for script fonts: an average lowercase letter, spacing included, is 61.4% as wide as the capitals are tall (an average capital, 108.7%), within 4.2% of the median. The o is wider than it is tall, 1.54 to 1, and M is the widest capital, at 1.28 times the width of H. The O tops out level with H and stands 0.5% above the baseline.

Ink covers 53.7% of each lowercase letter's box (its advance width by the cap height), darker than 52 of the 53 other script 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 34.1% of the cap height, and lowercase letters reach 38.2% past their own widths into the space of their neighbours. Spacing is adjusted with 45 kerning pairs, fewer than 24 of the 53 other script fonts. The tightest of them is TA, which closes up by 28.4% of the cap height. The figures have different widths, so columns of numbers set in Script 3D will not line up exactly.
