Terrace Join Sans

Terrace Join Sans's lowercase x reaches 72.9% of the capital height, close to the 72.4% median for sans serif fonts, taller than 26 of the 47 other sans serif fonts.

Its letters are of average width for sans serif fonts: an average lowercase letter, spacing included, is 77.2% as wide as the capitals are tall (an average capital, 88.4%), within 0.3% of the median. The o is close to a circle, 0.92 times as wide as it is tall, and W is the widest capital, at 1.13 times the width of H. Round letters overshoot: O rises 1.8% of the cap height above H and dips 1.1% below the baseline.

The letters stand upright, with no measurable slant. Vertical stems measure 19.7% of the cap height, heavier than 24 of the 28 other sans serif fonts. Ink covers 44.1% of each lowercase letter's box (its advance width by the cap height), darker than 35 of the 47 other sans serif fonts. The contrast is mild: the sides of o and O are 1.31 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 46% 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 Terrace Join Sans will not line up exactly.
