An en represents exactly 50% of the width of an em for any given font scale. To illustrate this proportional relationship, a layout configured to a 16 px font size will yield an en equivalent to 8 pixels. This specific metric also dictates the naming convention for the en dash, a punctuation mark designed to span this precise distance conceptually, even though contemporary type designers frequently render the character slightly shorter in practice.
