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.

Ultra as a free alternative to

Ultra is suggested on 5 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.
