The lowercase runs from Passion One, the shortest at 479 units per 1,000 em, to Viga at 571. In width, Felipa is the narrowest (368) and Chango the widest (766). Measured against the medians of their own classes, three of the five families with ascenders have a taller x-height, one of all five set a wider lowercase and four a darker one.
