- Space is refers to the distance or area between around, above, below, or within elements,
- It is the result of space arrangement.
- We mostly use both Negative Spacing(also called 'White Spacing') and Positive Spacing regularly in any designing.
Example for usage of White Spacing
Kerning:
- Kerning adjust the space between individual letter forms.
- Kerning becomes more important in italic types, and size of the font increases(such as in headlines).
- Tracking involves adjusting the spacing throughout the entire word.
- Use tracking to change the overall appearance and readability of the text, making it more open and airy or more dense.
Leading:
- Leading refers to baselines of successive lines of type.
- Leading affects the density of your page, so if your page seems a bit dark, try adding more leading.
