          By default tikz aligns the nodes in the center of the boxes that surround them.



          anchor-default



          documentclass[tikz,border=5mm]standalone

          begindocument
          begintikzpicture
          node[draw,anchor=center] at (0,0) d;
          node[draw,anchor=center] at (0.5,0) s;
          endtikzpicture
          enddocument


          To align the nodes on their base, simply choose the node base as the anchor.



          anchor-base



          documentclass[tikz,border=5mm]standalone

          begindocument
          begintikzpicture
          node[draw,anchor=base] at (0,0) d;
          node[draw,anchor=base] at (0.5,0) s;
          endtikzpicture
          enddocument


          anchor-base-no-draw



          documentclass[tikz,border=5mm]standalone

          begindocument
          begintikzpicture
          node[anchor=base] at (0,0) d;
          node[anchor=base] at (0.5,0) s;
          endtikzpicture
          enddocument


          See page 227 of the manual.

          The height of the text in their box is adjusted with the text height parameter.



          text-height



          documentclass[border=5mm]standalone
          usepackagetikz
          begindocument
          begintikzpicture
          node[draw,anchor=base,text height=0pt] at (0,0) d;
          node[draw,anchor=base,text height=0pt] at (0.5,0) s;
          endtikzpicture

          begintikzpicture
          node[draw,anchor=base,text height=5pt] at (0,0) d;
          node[draw,anchor=base,text height=5pt] at (0.5,0) s;
          endtikzpicture

          begintikzpicture
          node[draw,anchor=base,text height=10pt] at (0,0) d;
          node[draw,anchor=base,text height=10pt] at (0.5,0) s;

            an alternative solution:



            documentclass[tikz, margin=3.141592mm]standalone

            begindocument
            begintikzpicture[box/.style=draw, text height=1.5ex, text depth=0.5ex]
            node[box] at (0,0) d;
            node[box] at (0.5,0) s;
            node[box] at (1.0,0) p;
            node[box] at (1.5,0) g;
            endtikzpicture
            enddocument
