About Point (pt)

The typographic point equals 1/72 of an inch (approximately 0.353 mm) and has been the standard unit for measuring font size since desktop publishing emerged. Body text is typically set at 10-12 points, headlines at 24-72 points, and fine print at 6-8 points. Word processors and design software default to point sizing.

About Em (em)

The em is a relative typographic unit equal to the current font size -- in 16px text, 1 em equals 16 pixels. CSS developers use ems for responsive font sizing, padding, and margins that scale proportionally with text size. The em dash character is so named because it was traditionally the width of one em.
