refers to the pitch of a `font` or a `face` in Emacs. It is specified as the number of characters printed per inch. For fixed width fonts, the pitch is constant. For variable fonts, the pitch varies. Font size and pitch size are two independent settings. A large font with lower pitch squishes text. A small font with higher pitch widens text.
