Waka Sans in ink, the original DM Sans in red, printed on top of each other — wherever the two disagree, colour leaks out. Use the weight and optical dials on everything at once, and click any glyph to measure it.
Advance widths are measured live at the current weight, in units per em. Waka Sans runs tighter by design — every advance was pulled in 12/1000 em, and W/w were condensed 20%.
| Spacing | Every non-zero advance is reduced by 12/1000 em — the whole face sets tighter, like letter-spacing: −0.012em baked in. | basaltobasalto |
| W · w | The skeleton is condensed 20% and each stroke re-inflated to match V/v, so the W is compact without going light. W/w kerning pairs were stripped. | WwVvWwVv |
| a · g · figures | The alternate g and numbers are promoted to defaults — Waka Sans ships exactly one form per letter; all stylistic sets are retired. | ag 0123469ag 0123469 |
