Identify type sizes and measure layouts with precision-cut slots
Inch scale, pica scale, agate scale, E-scale chart, printer's point size scale, and ten line rules ranging from hairline to 24 point. Precision-cut slots keep all scales flush against your work surface, eliminating the measurement errors that occur when rulers sit raised above the page. The opaque construction prevents visual confusion when measuring type specimens or comparing point sizes across different samples.
Whether you're specifying body text, calculating leading, or verifying line weights in mechanical layouts, relevant measurements sit directly at hand rather than scattered across multiple tools. Westcott prints both sides to maximize reference information without increasing bulk. The gauge handles traditional typographic tasks, measuring column widths in picas, checking point sizes, gauging line thickness, with the accuracy that professional work requires. Keep one at your desk for spec sheets and client presentations where precise typography terminology matters.
