- X-height is measured from the baseline to the top of the lowercase “x.”
- Ascender is the part of a lowercase letter that extends above the x-height.
- Letter spacing is the horizontal adjustment to the space between letters in a block of text.
- Line height is the vertical space between lines of text, measured from baseline to baseline.
- Descender is the part of a lowercase letter that extends below the baseline.
- Baseline is the invisible line that letters rest on.
Modern
Strong angles and simple geometric shapes lend a modern elegance to letter forms.
Approachable
Generous roundness and open counters create curves that feel accessible yet confident.
Distinct
Details like the angled terminal of the “t,” arrow-like diagonals of the “k,” and open counter of the “4” are fresh and unique.
It's how we welcome our users, tell stories and direct their attention. We complement the vibrancy of our colors and imagery with a typeface that's conversational, bold and friendly - Market Sans.
Created exclusively for eBay, Market Sans is consistent, familiar and open - just like our modern marketplace. Market Sans mirrors eBay's welcoming spirit with simple, open geometric shapes.
