Officina Sans vs. Meta

These typefaces look very similar to the untrained eye, the modulation is very similar and most of the letter forms have a similar design, however as comm. design students we notice the subtle differences. For instance, Meta is bolder while Officina Sans has a lightly shorter x-height. Meta has a g with two bowls while Officina Sans has one with a tail, there is an arm on the i and the j of officina sans and the tail of the y and the j on Meta is shorter.
