 Distinctive features of Ehrhardt include an ' A ' with gently curving bar matching the centre @-@ link of the ' B ' , a wide ' T ' with <unk> serifs on either side and a ' b ' with no foot on the left . In italic the ' J ' has a crossbar , the ' w ' has sharp reverse curves towards the top and left , and the ' v ' has a flourish on the left . The face has high stroke contrast ( difference between thick and thin strokes ) by the standards of most old @-@ style serif fonts . In order to allow compact line spacing , descenders were kept reasonably short .
