Typographic Units of Measure

Type is best measured not in inches, but in points and picas. Points make for finer adjustments. We use points, which are 1/72 of an inch for measuring type size and leading. We use picas, which are a sixth of an inch to measure larger sizes such as page size, margins and columns.
