Range of the work

The lowercase runs from Reenie Beanie, the shortest at 410 units per 1,000 em, to Metamorphous at 590. In width, Reenie Beanie is the narrowest (338) and Sarina the widest (680). Beyond Latin, the families cover two subsets: Cyrillic Extended, Vietnamese. Measured against the medians of their own classes, five of the seven families with ascenders have a taller x-height, five of all seven set a wider lowercase and four a darker one.
