alt Hacker NewsIt's not completely different. Look at other fonts (e.g. comic sans) to see what "completely" means. Norwand is a little wider and the middle line is shorter. 28% seems a fairly accurate measurement. It's almost one third different for just the middle descender.
The shorter middle line gives it a completely different character. Comparing how many pixels are different is meaningless.
I will not voluntarily look at Comic Sans, but thank you for the recommendation!
