Brush Roman Press Blunt Cut Inky Serif Font

Its x-height is 64.4% of the cap height, near the 64.4% typical of serif fonts in the library. Ascenders on b, d, h, k and l line up with the capitals (98.5% of their height), and descenders on g, j, p, q and y drop 26.4% of the cap height below the baseline. The o is close to a circle, 1.09 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 4.9% of the cap height above H and dips 1.1% below the baseline.

The letters stand upright, leaning less than 2.5° either way. Vertical stems measure 22.8% of the cap height. Strokes change thickness with direction: the sides of o and O are 3.3 times as thick as their tops and bottoms.

Its 316 characters include 273 Latin letters, plus 43 figures, punctuation marks and symbols; 221 of the Latin letters are accented or special forms beyond A to Z. The word space measures 45.9% of the cap height, and the blank space either side of a lowercase letter takes up 12.2% 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 Brush Roman Press will not line up exactly.
