The height of the Em square.
The Em square is the basic metric by which fonts are sized, it is an imaginary square that is used to size and align glyphs. The dimensions of the em square typically are those of the full body height of a font plus some extra spacing to prevent lines of text from colliding when typeset without extra leading (spacing between lines).
