The lowercase runs from STIX Two Math, the shortest at 473 units per 1,000 em, to Tiro Gurmukhi at 477. In width, STIX Two Math is the narrowest (481) and Tiro Gurmukhi the widest (512). Beyond Latin, the families cover six subsets: Cyrillic, Cyrillic Extended, Devanagari, Greek, Gurmukhi, Vietnamese. Measured against the medians of their own classes, none of the seven families with ascenders have a taller x-height, none of all seven set a wider lowercase and seven a darker one.
