Measured from the outlines, not from a description. Each band is a third of the open catalogue: “tall x-height” means taller than two thirds of it, which is a fact about the measurement rather than an opinion.

Libre Bodoni as a free alternative to

Libre Bodoni is suggested on 14 licensed families’ profiles. The basis is named on each: metric-compatible means the advance widths match, so a swap keeps the line breaks; derived means it was drawn from the same source; the rest are judgement, labelled as such.
