  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "Describing composed typographic matter that contains an excessive amount of spacing, either between words or through added lead between lines, to fill a designated area.

Fat matter can also refer to copy that is easily and quickly set by a compositor, such as text with many short paragraphs, lists, or dialogue, because it requires less justification work than dense, solid text blocks.",
