The 5 in the name is a count of stitches. Sarah Cadigan-Fried built her Soft Type collection for knitters who want to work lettering into a sweater or a hat, and in each face of the set the number counts how tall the capitals are, so Micro 5 has caps 5 squares tall. Teeny, in other words, small enough to tuck along a cuff or a sock.
Every design in the set ships twice, Regular and Charted; this page has the Regular, and Micro 5 Charted is its partner. Tabular figures are in there too, handy if you are numbering rows on a pattern.
