This updates our measure tokens to use
ex
units instead ofch
per the reasoning in #2960.This rebalances our measure tokens to be concentrated within our guidance range of 45-90 characters (see https://practicaltypography.com/line-length.html) and should result in output that's more consistent from typeface to typeface because the
ex
is the height of thex
character and our normalization scheme tends to make this value more consistent from face to face.Now our docs and
usa-prose
measure are what they say they are: ~75 characters (measure 4
).However, this is something of a breaking change in that the new measure tokens tend to be narrower than their old values and will need to be updated per the chart that follows.
