Thames New Roman: how the famed Doves Type was rescued from the bottom of a river

I think that’s the higher x-height of Mebinac you’re noticing?

Personally I always find that x-heights excite.

I got learned up on fonts by some fine arts printer-publishers. They said the “wings” helped guide the eye from one letter to the next.

I later used seraph fonts for my college papers, as an “ease of reading” favor to my professors. Doesn’t hurt to game the system when you’re paying for your own education.

Also, kudos to @beschizza – “Thames New Roman” in the post title makes me grin every time I read it. Quality pun-smithing.
