Tracking: Overall Letter Spacing
Tracking is the uniform adjustment of spacing across a range of letters, words, or an entire text block.
Tracking changes the overall density of text. Slightly increased tracking can improve readability in all-caps text. Too much tracking breaks word shapes, and too little makes text feel cramped.
Example
A headline in all caps can look tight. Increasing tracking slightly can improve clarity and make the text feel more premium.
