In type design typeface design , the overshoot of a round or pointed capital letter like O or A is the degree to which it extends higher or lower than a comparably sized flat letter like X or H , to achieve an optical effect of being the same size. Formally, it is the degree to which capital letters go below the Baseline typography baseline or above the cap height , or to which a lowercase letter goes below the baseline or above the x height . For example, the highest and lowest extent of the capital O will typically exceed those of the capital X . Although the extent of overshoot varies depending on the design and the designer, perhaps 1 to 3 of the cap or x height is typical for O . Peter Karow s Digital Formats for Typefaces recommends 3 for O and 5 for A . ref http pfaedit.sourceforge.net glossary.html overshoot Typographical glossary Overshoot ref ref Peter Karow s Digital Formats for Typefaces, p. 26 ref Similar design Similar subtle adjustments to create an even appearance occur in other fields.

    Shifting baseline also known as sliding baseline is a term used to describe the way significant changes to a system are measured against previous baseline s, which themselves may represent significant changes from the original state of the system. The term was first used by the Fisheries science fisheries scientist Daniel Pauly in his paper Anecdotes and the shifting baseline syndrome of fisheries . ref Pauly 1995 ref Pauly developed the term in reference to fisheries management where fisheries scientists sometimes fail to identify the correct wiktionary baseline baseline population size e.g. how abundant a fish species population was before human exploitation and thus work with a shifted baseline . He describes the way that radically depleted fisheries were evaluated by experts who used the state of the fishery at the start of their careers as the baseline, rather than the fishery in its untouched state. Areas that swarmed with a particular species hundreds of years ago, may have experienced long term decline, but it is the level of decades previously that is considered the appropriate reference point for current populations. In this way large declines in ecosystems or species over long periods of time were, and are, masked.
