Setting type.

Setting type in a way that is clear, clean, and authoritative is crucial to a positive user experience. Here you’ll find some rules that dictate the way copy should look.

Tracking

Tracking is the amount of space given to a piece of copy. In brand-consistent use, tracking should be generally tight. It shouldn’t be too tight or too loose, per the examples below.

Leading

Leading is the space between one line and the next. As an optical rule of thumb, keep leading greater than spaces between words, and keep spaces between words greater than tracking. This creates a smooth experience on the part of the reader.

Alignment

Alignment refers to the flow of text on a page and where its edges are flush. Always use left-aligned or centered typography.
