Size:
Approximate height of lettering based on an ascender and descender. For example, if text is set
to 1.0 in
ches, then the height of the word “Baby” would be ~ 1.0.” However, the “B” typed by itself might
only be 0.7” in height because there is no descender, such as the letter “y”.
Width:
Increasing the width will widen the letters leaving the height unchanged. Note that letter spacing
will not be altered, thus the letters may end up overlapping unless
Tracking
is increased, as well.
Tracking:
This is the spacing between letters. Increasing will spread letters apart while decreasing will
force them closer together and can result in overlapping:
Leading:
