Background

Droid is an extremely narrow, unicase display font originally created in 1997. This Droid update mainly deals with vertical metric problems with the last version which caused very wide line gaps (leading) in some applications. The S has been refined. Horizontal alignment problems have been fixed for much better web performance.
