Line spacing • Line spacing refers to the space between lines of type. See the chart at right for line spacing guidelines. Letter spacing • Letter spacing (also known as tracking) is the space between letters. • Segoe is designed so that letter spacing and word spacing are set by default to 0. In some cases, spacing may need to be adjusted. Make sure that letters never touch one another. See the chart at right for tracking guidelines. Justification • Type should always be set flush left, ragged right. • Segoe should never be justified or centered. • Avoid widows, orphans, and lines that end with hyphens
