The lowercase in Nova Round stands tall, nearly 3/4 the height of the capitals, and it was drawn last. For years the letters were capitals and digits only, an alphabet Wojciech Kalinowski used for inscriptions cut in stone. When he moved it onto a computer in 2010 he had to invent the small letters, and while doing that he kept drawing variant shapes for some characters until there were enough to split into 6 fonts named by their form. This is the round one. NovaMono came after, as a 7th.
Use it big, in a logo or a title, since there is 1 weight and nothing in the way of OpenType beyond kerning.
Kalinowski was generous at the edges of the character set, though: Welsh accented w and y, Romanian with comma below, dotted capitals, a long s, even a few Greek letters for math.
