In typography, a column is one or more vertical blocks of content positioned on a page, separated by gutters or rules . Columns are most commonly used to break up large bodies of text that cannot fit in a single block of text on a page. Additionally, columns are used to
improve page composition and readability. Newspapers very frequently use complex multi-column layouts to break up different stories and longer bodies of texts within a story. Column can also more generally refer to the vertical delineations.

In page layout, the whitespace on the outside of the page (bounding the first and last columns) are known as margins; the gap between two facing pages is also
considered a gutter, since there are columns on both sides. Any other gutter can also be referred to as a margin, but exterior and horizontal margins are gutters. Column
width is traditionally called measure by typesetters. For best legibility, many times, columns should be wide enough to contain roughly sixty characters per line.

One formula suggests multiplying the point size of the font by 2 to reach how wide a column should be in picas— in effect a column width of 24 ems. Following these guidelines usually results in multiple columns being favored over a single wide column. Historically, books containing predominantly text generally have around 40 lines per column.
However, this rule of thumb does not apply to more complex text that contain multiple images or illustrations, footnotes, running heads, folios, and captions.
