About

About Abbey Textura

Abbey Textura's lowercase x reaches 67.7% of the capital height, close to the 67.7% median for decorative fonts. Ascenders on b, d, h, k and l line up with the capitals (98.9% of their height), and descenders on g, j, p, q and y drop 31.2% of the cap height below the baseline. The o is close to a circle, 1.05 times as wide as it is tall, and M is the widest capital, at 1.28 times the width of H. The O stops 1.1% of the cap height short of H and dips 0.4% below the baseline.

The letters stand upright, leaning less than 2.5° either way.

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 33.3% of the cap height, and the blank space either side of a lowercase letter takes up 5.8% of its width. Spacing is adjusted with 218 kerning pairs, the most of all 1 decorative fonts. The tightest of them is TA, which closes up by 22.6% of the cap height. The figures have different widths, so columns of numbers set in Abbey Textura will not line up exactly.

Method

How this page was made

The font files were checked for supported characters and visible letter shapes. AI helped describe the forms and prepare the sample compositions. The images use the named font files; samples are illustrative, and measurements come from the supplied files.

The current text and font-file specimens received an independent review.

  • Banner Fraktur

    For R, Banner Fraktur reserves 0.856 em versus 0.730 em in Abbey Textura. Its wider layout space can change a short title’s line break.

  • Acorn Birch

    Acorn Birch gives g a 0.289 em advance; here it is 0.530 em. The alternative sets that character more tightly.
