Brainstorm YOUR different TYPOGRAPHY layouts…
TYPOGRAPHY
Typography is the art of arranging letters and text in a way that makes the copy legible, clear, and visually appealing to the reader. It involves font style, appearance, and structure, which aims to elicit certain emotions and convey specific messages.
TYPOGRAPHY
Type Style- A variation on a typeface, such as bold, italics, or normal.

KERNING
Kerning is the spacing between specific pairs of characters.
Kerning is the spacing between individual letters or characters. Unlike tracking, which adjusts the amount of space between the letters of an entire word in equal increments, kerning is focused on how type looks — creating readable text that's visually pleasing.
TRACKING
Tracking is used to change the spacing between ALL characters in a block of text.
LEADING
If kerning and tracking are typography basics to adjust the distance between letters horizontally, then leading is a technique with a function to adjust letters or words vertically.
Leading is the distance between each line of text.
