1.
the length of a section of text from top to bottom in points
2.
the size of the metal body of a piece of type, measured from the top of the ascenders to the bottom of the descenders
COMMENT: Both body size and body width are measured in points. The typeface may not be the same size as its body. If an 8pt face is cast on a 10pt body, this will have the effect of giving extra leading between the lines: this would be called ‘8 on 10 point’ or 8/10. |
