@ahltorp where do you have lowercase-only text?

@ahltorp nah. Balancing on x-height seems way too high to me. Somehow even thought it’s all lowercase, your brain still know that uppercase letters exist @nikitonsky But that’s because your image’s upper text isn’t centred on x-height. 93 pixels above, and 99 pixels below. @ahltorp you are right, my bad! Figma added one pixel because of pixel snapping. Let’s try again: |
@nikitonsky There are many cases where it’s relevant for stylistic reasons, but one very obvious example where it’s mandated by the content and that I’m working with right now: dictionaries.
Not all dictionaries are strictly lowercase-only, but all except a few types are definitely lowercase-mostly. It looks really off when you centre on the cap height.
