Drawing Quality
As good as it's gonna get. Every glyph ultimately inherits from a single component.
Tracking & Kerning
Very good.
Users can aslo easily apply additional kerning in increments of +−100 to
achieve grid-perfect layouts.
Grid-Perfect Leading
Divide Adobe's auto leading in half for one dot size between lines or refer
to the leading formula and table below for more specific adjustment.
Leading Formula:
x = font size
y = desired number of dot spaces between lines
leading = x ÷ 10 × (y + 5)
| Font Size | Leading (0 dots) | Leading (1 dot) | Leading (2 dots) | Leading (3 dots) | Leading (4 dots) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12pt | 6pt | 7.2pt | 8.4pt | 9.6pt | 10.8pt |
| 14pt | 7pt | 8.4pt | 9.8pt | 11.2pt | 12.6pt |
| 18pt | 9pt | 10.8pt | 12.6pt | 14.4pt | 16.2pt |
| 21pt | 10.5pt | 12.6pt | 14.7pt | 16.8pt | 18.9pt |
| 24pt | 12pt | 14.4pt | 16.8pt | 19.2pt | 21.6pt |
| 36pt | 18pt | 21.6pt | 25.2pt | 28.8pt | 32.4pt |
| 48pt | 24pt | 28.8pt | 33.6pt | 38.4pt | 43.2pt |
| 60pt | 30pt | 36pt | 42pt | 48pt | 54pt |
