It sets narrow: an average lowercase letter, spacing included, is 72.7% as wide as the capitals are tall (an average capital, 79.3%), 12.8% less than the median for display fonts, so more words fit on a line. The o is an upright oval, 0.86 times as wide as it is tall, and M is the widest capital, at 1.10 times the width of H. Round letters overshoot: O rises 1.4% of the cap height above H and dips 1% below the baseline.

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 Stepped Arch Deco 3d will not line up exactly.
