What is line length? How is it measured?
What will be an ideal response?
Line length is the length of the column on which the type will be composed or set. It is measured in picas and points. Usually line measure is in full pica or pica and six-point (one-half pica) line lengths. Like the size of type, line length does not have to refer to the printed characters on the page, but rather to the maximum line length available to hold characters. Only in the case of justified composition, such as that found in most newspaper columns, are line length and printed characters equal in length. Proper line length ranges from one and one-half to two and one-half times the length of the lowercase alphabet.
