Cicero is a traditional unit of measurement in typography, primarily used in the context of typesetting. It refers to a unit that is equal to 12 points in the modern typographic point system. The term "cicero" historically originated from the size of the body of type used in European printing, particularly for typefaces that were designed for the Latin alphabet. In practical terms, a cicero is generally considered to be equivalent to approximately 4.5 millimeters or 0.
