Unit of measure of print type equal to the square of a type character. Most machine-set type characters are one-half an em (called an en). The term em is derived from traditional type sets that had a letter M cast on a square slug. The actual size of an em varies, depending on the point size of the type being used. In most cases, the term refers to a pica or 12-point em. Each point equals 0.0138 inch (approximately 1/72 of an inch).
Em-sized spaces are used to indent lines and to make line lengths equal in typeset copy. See also letterspacing.
