A foot-long sheet with the common width of Letter and (Government) Legal, i.e. 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in × 12 in (215 mm × 305 mm), would have an aspect ratio very close to the square root of two as used by international paper sizes and would actually almost exactly match ISO RA4 (215 mm × 305 mm).
The contemporary computer PostScript pica is exactly 1 ⁄ 6 of an inch or 1 ⁄ 72 of a foot, i.e. 4.2 3 mm or 0.1 6 in. Publishing applications such as Adobe InDesign and QuarkXPress represent pica measurements with whole-number picas left of a lower-case p , followed by the points number, for example: 5p6 represents 5 picas and 6 points, or ...
For comparison, the letter paper size commonly used in North America (8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in × 11 in; 216 mm × 279 mm) is about 6 mm (0.24 in) wider and 18 mm (0.71 in) shorter than A4. Then, the size of A5 paper is half of A4, i.e. 148 mm × 210 mm ( 5.8 in × 8.3 in ).
However, a sheet of common copy paper that has a basis weight of 20 pounds (9.1 kg) does not have the same mass as the same size sheet of coarse paper (newsprint). In the former case, the standard ream is 500 sheets of 17-by-22-inch (432 by 559 mm) paper, and in the latter, 500 sheets of 24-by-36-inch (610 by 914 mm) paper.

The steps between nominal sizes are based on a factor of √2 ≈ 1.414 in order to match ISO 216 paper sizes. Since the set of sizes includes thicknesses of 0.1 mm, 0.5 mm, 1 mm and 2 mm, there is also one of 0.35 mm which is almost exactly 1 pica point.
