Definition from
University of Minnesota Duluth :
The box around a font character of a given 'size' as designed by the designer. It is sometimes referred to as an em-square. The theoretical square that glyphs are designed upon. Its height is the intended distance between lines of type in the same type size. It is the design grid on which the glyph outlines are defined.
Example sentences:
The ideographic em-box center baseline is defined as halfway between the ideographic em-box top and bottom baselines in the horizontal axis, and halfway between the ideographic em-box left and right baselines in the vertical axis. (Microsoft Corporation)
This text uses the em-box definition, for simplicity’s sake. In replaced elements, the content area is the intrinsic height of the element plus any margins, borders, or padding. (oreilly.com)
During development it was noticed that there could be placement errors if the em box, the ascender and descender don't match. (wiki.apache.org)

Vierkant [of Typografisch vierkant]
Definition from
own experience or research:
Het (typografisch) vierkant is de relatieve typografische maat die overeenkomt met het corps van de betreffende tekst. In loodzetsel is het vierkant 'een stukje wit dat even breed is als het corps' (Huib van Krimpen, "Vergeetboekje", De Buitenkant, Amsterdam 1999).
Example sentences:
Dunspatie: Spatie met een breedte van 1/3 deel van een typografisch vierkant (afgerond). (Elmo Leerroutes)
Typografisch vierkant: Dit is een vlak dat even hoog en breed als het corps is. Bij corps 12 is het vierkant dus 12 punten bij 12 punten. Officieel wordt het vierkant echter opgedeeld in eenheden of units. Deze verschillen weer per fabrikant. Linotype gebruikt een andere opdeling dan Bitstream. Veel programma’s delen dit vierkant op in 1000 eenheden. (Opatel)
