Range of the work

The lowercase runs from Fasthand, the shortest at 352 units per 1,000 em, to Skranji at 590. In width, Fasthand is the narrowest (387) and Codystar the widest (666). Beyond Latin, the families cover one subset: Khmer. Measured against the medians of their own classes, two of the six families with ascenders have a taller x-height, one of all seven set a wider lowercase and four a darker one.
