BPOZZ Design Note

Vast Shadow's capitals are among the shortest tenth in the library measured against the em, so at any given font-size its letters stand lower than those of most faces set beside it. Match it to neighbouring type by the height of the capitals, raising its font-size, rather than by using equal size values.

BPOZZ editorial guidance for designers.
