Marker Quick Dark Skipping Print Font

Its x-height is 74% of the cap height, near the 74% typical of handwriting fonts in the library. Ascenders on b, d, h, k and l rise 17.5% above the capitals, and descenders on g, j, p, q and y drop 19.3% of the cap height below the baseline. The o is close to a circle, 1.13 times as wide as it is tall, and M is the widest capital, at 1.32 times the width of H. The O stops 5.4% of the cap height short of H and stands 0.4% above the baseline.

The letters lean about 4° to the right, where most handwriting fonts in the library stand upright. Strokes keep nearly one thickness in every direction: the sides and the tops of o and O differ by 10%.

Its 273 characters include 170 Japanese kana and 52 Latin letters, plus 51 figures, punctuation marks and symbols; there are no accented Latin letters beyond A to Z. The word space measures 45.7% of the cap height, and the blank space either side of a lowercase letter takes up 11.6% 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 Marker Quick will not line up exactly.
