Spacing Leading is the vertical space between lines of text, measured from the baseline of one line of text to the next
Baseline is the imaginary line on which text sits.
Kerning means to increase or decrease the space between a pair of characters.
Tracking is like kerning but it is applied to an entire word, sentence or paragraph.
