Needle Formal uses connected, forward-leaning letterforms with a visible contrast between its slanted capitals and compact lowercase. This page focuses on the delivered font file, the characters it contains, and a specific browser-loading boundary.

Check the destination copy against the listed character map, then test the exact URL and fallback behavior in the site that will load it.
This card describes the current Needle Formal file. Its figures report the delivered file size and how many characters it contains; they do not estimate loading speed.
No generated subset is included in this sample, so there is no before-and-after size or saving to report. The source file remains the only measured artifact.

}Needle Formal maps 352 characters in this version. The example shows an English display phrase; the map also contains extended Latin ranges, but this does not certify every language.
Use the current font-file URL shown in the file card. This sample does not describe a reduced file, a remote hosting test, or network speed.

Needle Formal takes the title; Acorn Birch sets the explanatory lines. Their different letter structures separate emphasis from reading.

Choose
The capital N begins with a curved entry stroke and carries a long diagonal between its tall stems.
The capital F has a curled upper arm and a separate short cross stroke in the displayed name.
The lowercase e in Needle keeps a small enclosed counter within the connected stroke.
Good for
Use the current file for short display lines and connected script accents on pages whose required characters fall within the measured map. Keep supporting copy in a separate readable face.
Check before using
Do not claim that the full file has been reduced, that a network transfer is faster by a fixed amount, or that all languages are supported because several tested repertoires pass.
About
Needle Formal's lowercase x reaches 48.6% of the capital height, close to the 48.6% median for script fonts. Ascenders on b, d, h, k and l line up with the capitals (99.2% of their height), and descenders on g, j, p, q and y drop 50.1% of the cap height below the baseline. The o is wider than it is tall, 1.49 to 1, and N is the widest capital, at 1.15 times the width of H. The O stops 0.8% of the cap height short of H and sits on the baseline.
The letters lean roughly 20° to the right, where most script fonts in the library stand upright.
Its 351 characters include 308 Latin letters, plus 43 figures, punctuation marks and symbols; 256 of the Latin letters are accented or special forms beyond A to Z. The word space measures 34.9% of the cap height, and lowercase letters reach 29.3% past their own widths into the space of their neighbours. Spacing is adjusted with 26 kerning pairs, the most of all 1 script fonts. The tightest of them is FA, which closes up by 24.2% of the cap height. The figures have different widths, so columns of numbers set in Needle Formal will not line up exactly.

Method
We use the local font files to check which characters they contain and how each sample looks. AI helped prepare these observations and example wording. The images use the named font files without replacement letters; measurements describe those supplied files. Previews are examples, and display can vary between apps.
The current text and font-file specimens received an independent review.
For R, Amore Nib reserves 0.773 em versus 0.788 em in Needle Formal. Its narrower advance can help when that capital repeats in a compact heading.
Acorn Birch gives g a 0.289 em advance; here it is 0.468 em. The alternative sets that character more tightly.
