Leading (typografia)


Leading - English term lead (lead), which has also become Polish. Leading is the distance between adjacent lines of printed text. Both in English and Polish there are terminological problems associated with the uniqueness of the word.

History

In English, the leading word was synonymous with Polish terms: interline and interstitial, and meant what we now call singularly in the line, ie the empty line between the lines of text (the distance between the bottom line of the upper and the upper line of the writing in the line lower). Originally, the fonts were laid in lines that were separated by lead belts (paper or copper). Because lead belts were not as high as fonts, they were non-printable to create space between lines of text. Present

Leading out means the distance between two adjacent base lines of writing, the lines on which the letters stand. From traditional, zeros, the spacing between the lines has evolved today to define the spacing between lines, which stands for the terminology of office programs, such as text editors. Line spacing is given in units (and fractions) of lines. Line spacing is equal to one when the leading is zero. The term is used in composition and breaking programs, and is referred to in typographic points. Leading is equal to the letter grade when the leading is zero. Summary
