markwyner, 
Did you know that the vertical positioning of colons isn’t constant? It varies depending on the typeface and in some cases its surrounding characters.
There are three basic conventions that I’ve seen within various typefaces:
- Always set to baseline (see Lato).
- Aligned with character height (see Inter).
- Aligned based on context (see San Francisco).
I prefer to the third approach. How about you?
