In metal type, the point size of a font describes the height of the metal body on which that font's characters were cast.

Unlike monospaced fonts, a halfwidth character occupies half the width of a fullwidth character, hence the name.

Hence, each next size is nearly exactly half the area of the prior size. So, an A1 page can fit two A2 pages inside the same area. The most used of this series is the size A4, which is 210 mm × 297 mm (8.27 in × 11.7 in) and thus almost exactly 1 ⁄ 16 square metre (0.0625 m 2 ; 96.8752 sq in) in area.
The precise origins of the dimensions of US letter-size paper (8.5 × 11 in) are not known. The American Forest & Paper Association says that the standard US dimensions have their origin in the days of manual papermaking, the 11-inch length of the standard paper being about a quarter of "the average maximum stretch of an experienced vatman's arms".

The letter M, on the left in Perpetua and on the right in Calisto, inside squares of one em on each side.The M in Perpetua does not match the point size of the em.. In some older texts, but not all, the em is defined, or said to have been defined, as the width of the capital 'M' in the current typeface and point size. [3]

The size and proportions of a book depend on the size of the original full sheet. If a sheet 480 by 640 mm (19 by 25 in) is used to print a quarto, the resulting untrimmed pages, will be approximately half as large in each dimension: width 240 mm (9 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) and height 320 mm (12 + 1 ⁄ 2 in).
