Today I Learned that letters with round tops (Q, O, S, etc.) are drawn a smidgeon higher than letters with flat tops (E,T,F, etc.). This 'overshoot' makes them appear equal to our perception

    The smaller the font the less noticable, especially with pixelation. But look at the top red line you drew, the F & T are grey pixels and the Q & O are white in the center.
