Space

Intentional use of empty space gives the reader room to breathe and offers a space for the brain to process information. Empty space helps organize and separate content and creates meaningful associations, connections, or divisions. Consistent use of empty space is called vertical rhythm and helps guide the reader through the page's content.

The IT websites use a standard set of measurements to create space throughout the website. These measurements are based on typographic principles and are intertwined with the website's typography.

Each unit of measurement must be a multiple of the line height of the website's body copy. These measurements will be shown below in a unit relative to the website's font size and a calculated pixel value based on the assumption that the font size of the body is 16px, as it should be under normal circumstances.

The pixel representation should ONLY be used in design mocks, never in production code. For use on the website, the relative unit must be used.

Pixel Representation	Relative Unit

25.6px	1.6rem
51.2px	3.2rem
76.8px	4.8rem
102.4px	6.4rem
128px	8.0rem
153.6px	6.9rem
