Word spacing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This article is about the typographic concept; for the practice of writing with spaces between words, see Interword separation
Word spacing in typography is the process of increasing or decreasing the space between words. Typographers may modify the default spacing of a letter in a body of type to aid readability and copy fit, or for aesthetic effect, but this does not alter word spacing alone, and is rarely done.
