Vertically the bar should be visually centered between the x-height and the ascender. |
Well, I like ITC Garmond because of the large x-height and shortened ascenders and descenders. |
In typographic jargon, this measure is known as the x-height, based on the level of the top of the lowercase x, and even more than the shapes of the letter forms themselves, it can give a typeface an individual character. |
The most distinctive element of the typeface is its enormous lower-case x-height. |
It had a slightly higher x-height and overall, making it look bigger and easier to read. |
Within each triplet set, the items were matched for rhyme and whether the initial letter was an ascender, descender, or x-height. |
