If the gutters are too small there will be a tendency to read across the columns too large and the separate columns will look unconnected. The width of the column gutters should be the same as the leading value or a multiple thereof. Leading, like all type attributes, needs to work in harmony with everything else on the page. Increasing the leading anywhere from 0.5 point to 2 points improves readability by keeping the lines distinct and preventing the eye from dropping off to the line below or doubling back to reread the same line. Increase leading as you increase column width. With display sizes, the same relative amount of space between the lines appears larger, so much so that it's common to use negative leading for display type. As type point size increases, you will want proportionally less leading. While text intended for continuous reading benefits from some breathing space, a short burst of advertising copy or a title might be more effective if the lines are tightly leaded. Getting the leading just right depends on several variables: How Much is enough?īad leading makes your text harder to read because the eye has trouble locating the next line of type. This is written 10/12, spoken as "10 on 12." Other common type size and leading combinations for body text are 9/11, 11/13, and 12/15. Thus, 10-point type with 12 points of leading really means two points of space between each line. The leading value includes the point size of the typeface and the actual space between the lines. Leading is measured in points from one baseline to the next. The total leading is measured from the baseline of one line to the baseline of the next. This is especially true if the leading value is greater than the size of the space between the paragraphs.įigure 4.1 Leading is indicated by the red strips between the lines. On the other, if the leading is too loose, the lines of type look like individual strips that don't belong together as paragraphs. On one hand, loose leading can create a luxurious look. On the other, if you go too tight your type looks claustrophobic, and the descenders of one line may collide with the ascenders of the next. When it comes to leading there is no "one size fits all." On one hand, tight leading increases the density of the type and gives your type authority. Headlines and display type, however, may benefit from negative leading (a leading value less than the point size of the type). Body text is usually made more readable by a positive amount of leading (a leading value greater than the point size of the type). Lines of type without these strips of lead were - and still are - referred to as "set solid." Leading plays a big part in the readability of your text. The term comes from the days of hot-metal typesetting when thin strips of lead, known as reglets, were inserted by hand between the lines of type to add vertical space. LEADING (pronounced "ledding") is the space between lines of type, sometimes referred to as line spacing.
