Velocity Stripes

With an x-height of 79% of the cap height, its lowercase stands above the 76.2% median for display fonts, taller than 74 of the 97 other display fonts. Ascenders on b, d, h, k and l rise 3.3% above the capitals, and descenders on g, j, p, q and y drop 24.2% of the cap height below the baseline, deeper than 56 of the 97 other display fonts. It sets wide: an average lowercase letter, spacing included, is 105.6% as wide as the capitals are tall (an average capital, 120.8%), 18.1% more than the median for display fonts, so the same words take a longer line. The o is wider than it is tall, 1.45 to 1, and W is the widest capital, at 1.32 times the width of H. O stands exactly as tall as H and sits on the baseline, with no overshoot.

The letters lean about 10° to the right, where most display fonts in the library stand upright. Ink covers 32.5% of each lowercase letter's box (its advance width by the cap height), lighter than 75 of the 97 other display fonts. Strokes keep nearly one thickness in every direction: the sides and the tops of o and O differ by 5%. Thin horizontal stripes cut through the lower half of each letter.

Its 2,575 characters include 2,401 Korean Hangul and 105 Latin letters, plus 69 figures, punctuation marks and symbols; 53 of the Latin letters are accented or special forms beyond A to Z. The word space measures 42.9% of the cap height, and the blank space either side of a lowercase letter takes up 5.9% of its width. Spacing is adjusted with 111 kerning pairs, more than 66 of the 97 other display fonts. The tightest of them is VA, which closes up by 33.2% of the cap height. The figures have different widths, so columns of numbers set in Velocity Stripes will not line up exactly.
