    The seemingly higher offset value ($2.4$ vs $2.1$ for acute) for the grave accent is attributed to the visual weight paradox: the downward slope requires a slightly greater vertical separation to prevent the physical overlap of the stroke’s terminus with the ascender of the underlying glyph [3].
