Autocorrect: It can be your worst enema.
Best of luck correcting this, Frances, because the period aligns perfectly with the uppercase characters.
Okay, if we assume that a period comes at the end of a sentence, chances are good that the preceding character will be lowercase, right?
The overall problem is that the UC and the lc share different baselines.
Tell you what: if you come to an agreement here, it would be fairly easy for me to correct the punctuation relative to lowercase. I'll do the period, comma, colon and semicolon right now and you see what else is wonky.

I'm still a bit under the weather and my mind isn't working very well (not that unusual for me).
How would we classify this font? It is not a decorative font as the Celebrated Burgeon Ornaments TG font.

An antique sans serif headline font?

That sounds good to me Gary.
The exclamation mark and the question mark again don't look quite right with the lower case letters, how ever they do look fine with the UC. Not sure if this one is fixable? Unless lowercase friendly versions could be mapped to un-used spots?
single and double quotes seem a little too high for lowercase letters, would these be better aligned to lower case? On this one I'm not sure

Want all of my 30-seconds of thought on the baseline alignment issue? Seeing how I cannot hear the screams of No!, here tis.
I don't know whether there is actually a single baseline but the LC characters are raised above it, or if the UC are lowered from the font's baseline, or ? So take the following as it is: comments from a place of ignorance concerning this font's construction.
If I were making this font, I would place all LC letters on the font's baseline. I would align all punctuation in relation to the LC characters.
But here is where I don't know how the two "baselines" were incorporated. I would opt to have the UC characters' bottoms align near (or at) the descender location.
Now resuming my hiding...Mike
Hi Gary,
Actually, I *thought* what I was suggesting was what you are showing in the image you added--we might have been responding at the same time:

Take care, Mike
Okay, got it.
If anyone/everyone can chill for 24 hours, I'll align the cap heights to the character heights, and then see how the punctuations fall.
