    It's not something I was aware of until it was shown to me. It also makes no sense to my sense of linearity and aligned objects.
    And yet, there it is. Always learning. Always tricking the eye.

    Read Part I and Part II.

    Awesome, Luke. I remember being surprised when I first learned that the baseline for the bottom of O's typically sit lower than the baseline of letters with flat bottoms. Thanks for the link, always learning.

    After reading the article, I'm wondering: is the variation is intended to help overcome the "picket fence" look?

    That's a great question. I'd lean towards yes.

    Interesting. I was never aware of this either. I'd love it if Jonathan Hoefler were to weigh in (I know he's on here).
