![]() None of them have a crossbar in the middle that matches the x-height of the rest of the face, but the general rule seems to be to roughly bisect the glyph. Didot really emphasizes the loop on the baseline, while Charlemagne flattens out the base quite a bit. Helvetica Neue squiggles the base, which feels a bit out of place compared to the general sterility of the typeface. Adobe Caslon Pro gives it an oblique slant even though this is the Regular weight. But consider a sampling of pound signs:Ĭalibri is first, and is about as plain as can be an elongated 'f' with a wide base. What does a "normal" pound sign look like? A "normal" dollar sign tends to be, more or less, the "S" glyph of the font with one or two vertical strokes through it. ![]() I'm working on creating a glyph for the British pound sterling for a typeface I'm working on, and I realized that not only is it a bit of an oddity, it's an oddity that I, as someone from the United States (a 'Murican), am just not that exposed to.
