       Spacing

      After margins, there are three more spatial factors to consider: the space between the lines, the space between the words, and the space between letters in a word.

       Word Spacing

      Spacing between words tells us much about your personal space in regard to other people—are you easygoing or a little restrained? It also reflects your speech patterns—if a writer pauses to breathe or speeds up when talking, the flow of his or her words on paper will often mirror that individual’s speech.

       Letter Spacing
