Line spacing, called leading, is critical to setting professional-looking type that’s easy to read. Leading should be set tight but not too tight. All our typefaces generally look best with leading set slightly looser than the default. 

A good rule of thumb is to start with leading that’s two points higher than the point size of the text. This won’t always be right, but leading can be adjusted most easily from there. 

Correct letterspacing, called tracking, also helps to make the type easy to read. Outside of headlines or text set in all caps, it’s usually acceptable to use the default tracking; however, you may need to increase tracking at small scales and decrease it at large scales. Some typefaces have optical adjustments built into the font files. 

The term “tracking” refers to overall letterspacing for groups of letters and entire blocks of text. The term “kerning” refers to selective letterspacing between pairs of characters.
