Direction
Use the short display line to inspect the rounded A top and pinched O; Acorn Birch carries the smaller supporting lines.
Gothic Lombardic Round carries the 64px title; Acorn Birch carries the 28px companion and 20px detail lines.
In “OAK AT ABBEY,” inspect the O’s pinched sides and pointed ends beside the A’s curved, bulbous top. The smaller lines use Acorn Birch to separate supporting information from the ornate display capitals.

The same “IRON & INK” phrase repeats at five renderer settings so the O’s contour can be compared as it scales.

About
Gothic Lombardic Round's lowercase x reaches 70.1% of the capital height, close to the 70.1% median for decorative fonts. Ascenders on b, d, h, k and l rise 16% above the capitals, and descenders on g, j, p, q and y drop 26.9% of the cap height below the baseline. The o is close to a circle, 0.95 times as wide as it is tall, and R is the widest capital, at 1.06 times the width of H. The O stops 5% of the cap height short of H and dips 1.2% below the baseline.
The letters stand upright, leaning less than 2.5° either way. Vertical stems measure 16.8% of the cap height.
Its 95 characters include 52 Latin letters, plus 43 figures, punctuation marks and symbols; there are no accented Latin letters beyond A to Z. The word space measures 53.1% of the cap height, and the blank space either side of a lowercase letter takes up 13% 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 Gothic Lombardic Round will not line up exactly.
