Description
Description
em units are used for lengths involving spacing or that which otherwise depends on the horizontal size of the font. For those cases involving vertical spacings, the unit typically used is ex (though people will sometimes substitute that for em).
ex is roughly the height of an 'x' in the current font.
Use Case
Measuring vertical spacing where the relationship with the font height is important.
