Leading
Controls the space between lines of text.
Design Principle
Typography gives words a visual voice.
The same message can feel formal, energetic, playful, modern, or difficult to read depending on typographic choices.
Good typography helps viewers understand information quickly. Designers use size, weight, leading, letter spacing, and typeface selection to create hierarchy and improve readability.
