The x-height of a typeface is the height of

  • A.a lower-case letter without ascender or descender
  • B.a capital letter measured upward from the baseline
  • C.the whole body on which the type is being set
  • D.the space left between two successive lines

Answer: A

It is measured on a letter such as x, and it governs how large a face looks at a given point size. Two faces set at the same nominal size can therefore differ noticeably in apparent size, which matters whenever a map specifies a minimum legible lettering.
