What it is made of

what it isa stroke that finishes below the baseline
measured from the sourceletters with a free stroke end below the baseline, by the number of the 23 families that draw one: g, p, q and y (23), φ (22), Q (20), j (4), B (3), D, P, Y and s (2), A, E, F and H (1)read from the shelf's own stroke data on 2026-09-24, rather than measured off its ink. The ones found in a single family are Drew Extrude's depth, a copy of the letter drawn behind and below it. Until 2026-09-24 this row counted ends rather than families, on a build replaced before it shipped
AND A TAIL IS NOT A DESCENDER, which this measurement cannot tell apartit finds the stroke, not the reason for it: g, p, q and y descend because the letter does, while Q's is a tail properthe first version of this list ran comma, slash, semicolon and bracket as tails, which is true about strokes and wrong about letters. Letters and marks are counted separately now and neither is labelled more than it has earned
