121EDO has a distinctly sharp tendency, in that the odd primes from 3 to 19 all have sharp tunings. It tempers out [[15625/15552]] in the [[5-limit]]; 4000/3969, 6144/6125, 10976/10935 in the [[7-limit]]; 540/539, 896/891 and 1375/1372 in the 11-limit; 325/324, 352/351, 364/363 and 625/624 in the [[13-limit]]; 256/255, 375/374 and 442/441 in the [[17-limit]]; 190/189 and 361/360 in the [[19-limit]]. It also serves as the [[optimal patent val]] for 13-limit [[Mirkwai_clan #Grendel|grendel temperament]]. It is [[consistent]] through to the [[19-odd-limit]] and uniquely consistent to the [[15-odd-limit]].

Because it tempers out 540/539 it allows [[swetismic chords]], because it tempers out 325/324 it allows [[marveltwin_triad|marveltwin chords]], because it tempers out 640/637 it allows [[huntmic chords]], because it tempers out 352/351 it allows [[minthmic chords]], because it tempers out 364/363 it allows [[gentle chords]], because it tempers out 676/675 it allows [[island tetrad|island chords]] and because it tempers out 1575/1573 it allows the [[nicolic tetrad]]. That makes for a very flexible system, and since this suite of commas defines 13-limit 121ET, it is a system only associated with 121.

Since 121 is part of the Fibonacci sequence beginning with 5 and 12, 121edo closely approximates peppermint temperament. This makes it suitable for neo-Gothic tunings.
