Best Practices
LEADING
Leading, also called line spacing, is the vertical distance between lines of text. In most cases, try leading that is 3-4 points higher than the type point size. In general, longer line length means more leading is needed to counteract eye strain.
Tracking
Tracking is unified spacing between groups of letters. Tracking affects the overall character density of the copy and can be used to even out line lengths or make text more legible. In most cases, tracking should be set at the default “0.”
