ITC Kabel Ultra

Within a typeface, this charac¬
ter has the same dot and top
stroke alignment as the excla¬
mation point. The question
mark is usually about half the
width of the capital О in ro¬
man designs, and slightly wider
in sans serif faces.

An opening quotation mark
looks like an upside-down
comma (although in some
typefaces it is slightly smaller),
and the closing quotation mark
is usually just a rotated version
of the opening quote. Rounded
quotation marks usually align
with the cap O, and squared
ones with the capital H, but
there are exceptions. Some¬
times the opening quotation
mark, which is almost always
followed by a capital letter, is
positioned slightly higher than
the closing one so that they will
appear to align at the same
height. Occasionally, as in old
style type designs whose lower¬
case ascenders are taller than
the capitals, the quotation
marks will align with, or are
positioned slightly below, the
ascenders.
