The keyword you are looking for is hinting, in particular blue values. The latter define certain horizontal bands corresponding to important vertical lines, such as the baseline, the midline, the cap height and so on. At small font sizes, the font renderer then aligns all the glyphs’ vertical lines that fall into those bands on the same height. For example the top of the n and the o should fall into one of such bands corresponding to the midline.

It may suffice to use an auto-hinter for this, either one implemented in your font creator or an independent one like TTFAutohint.
