Letter Spacing

Also known as:TrackingCharacter Spacing

Definition

Letter spacing (also called tracking) refers to the uniform adjustment of space between all characters in a block of text. Increasing letter spacing can improve readability in all-caps headlines and create an airy, premium aesthetic; decreasing it can add density and impact to bold display text. In CSS, letter spacing is controlled with the `letter-spacing` property.
