This is a good value for this style of sans typeface for an em square of 1000, so I'll often use a value of 12, not just for Metropolis. -There like are (or should be) some other values here and there, but I can't provide them because, well, I largely just started drawing outlines straight into Glyphs, rather than work off physical sketches or source material. Maybe that's a 'wrong' way to do type design, but it works for me. That will explain why some outlikes are a bit primitive. For example, I'm still not really happy with the lowercase 'a' overall, but I am reticent to change it to something already familiar over something original. This is an original work, not a copy, after all. +There likely should be many more formal values, but they don't exist. Pretty much all glyphs have been improvised beginning with the pen tool in Glyphs. I didn't draw this freehand as a prior step, becuase I wanted to get straight into the project in Glyphs.

This is an original work, not a copy, after all. Armed with all the above metrics, you should be able draw a great many number of outlines/glyphs. There are 327 already there by my count. I say outlines, I have intentionally left out spacing until now.
