EN SPACE
ˈen ˌspās, n
A space the width of one en within a line of
type. As with the em space, digital fonts
include the en space as a special character.
Because it is of a fi xed width, an en space re-
mains unchanged as the software composes
each line of type, unlike the variable spaces
created using the space bar.

EN DASH
ˈen ˌdash, n
A dash the width of one en used in place of
the words to (e.g., 2:00–3:00) and through
(e.g., Monday–Friday). As with the em dash,
practices vary regarding the use of spaces
before and after an en dash. Designers and
typographers sometimes prefer to use the
spaces, which they can then carefully adjust
by way of kerning. See also em dash
and hyphen.
