The amount of letter-spacing can affect how text is perceived.
The addition of minimal letter-spacing can often increase the legibility and readability.
Tight letter-spacing, particularly in small text sizes, can diminish legibility.
Letter-spacing can be confused with kerning.
Letter-spacing is increased or decreased by modest (usually unnoticeable) amounts to fix these unattractive situations.
Letter-spacing is not supposed to be affected by it, although some buggy computer fonts may add an unneeded space before the next letter.
Kerning and letter-spacing can be adjusted on a per-glyph basis using keyboard shortcuts.
Conversely, the increase of letter-spacing in text (to an extent) increases legibility, and the cultural association is of a more objective typographic voice.
Readability can also be compromised by letter-spacing, word spacing, or leading that is too tight or too loose.
For example, letter-spacing affects оу as if they were two individual letters, and never affects components of ы .
Kerning adjusts the space between individual letter forms, while tracking (letter-spacing) adjusts spacing uniformly over a range of characters.
Letter-spacing may also refer to the insertion of fixed spaces, as was commonly done in hand-set metal type to achieve letter-spacing.
The lack of serifs, large x-height, wide proportions, loose letter-spacing, large counters, and emphasized distinctions between similarly-shaped characters are chosen to increase legibility.
What is common to most systems is that the default setting of letter-spacing or tracking is zero, using the widths (and kerning information) built into the font itself.
As reading with phonetic writing systems is based in part on context, and with unfamiliar words, on phonetic pronunciation, recognition of individual characters can be aided by slightly increased letter-spacing.
The font was first used as the text face for Scientific American magazine, and its letter-spacing was tightened to give it a slightly closer fit for use in two and three column formats.
In typography, letter-spacing, usually called tracking by typographers, refers to a consistent degree of increase (or sometimes decrease) of space between letters to affect density in a line or block of text.
This letter-spacing is referred to as sperren in German which could be translated as "spacing out": in typesetting with letters of lead, the spacing would be achieved by inserting additional non-printing slices of metal between the types, usually about an eighth of an em wide.
