Also, maybe look into existing research on x-height and readability. Studies might show that higher x-heights can improve readability in certain contexts, while condensation can sometimes reduce it. So there's a balance to mention.
I need to make sure the paper is academic in tone but accessible. Avoid too much jargon, define terms when necessary. Use examples to illustrate points, even if they're hypothetical. xheighter condensed
Alternatively, focus more on end-use applications and design theory rather than the technical creation process. Also, maybe look into existing research on x-height
