◊ em { Letterspacing } ( also known as ◊ em { character spacing } or ◊ em { tracking } ) is the adjustment of the horizontal white space between the letters in a block of text . Unlike ◊ xref { kerning } , which affects only designated pairs of letters , letterspacing affects every pair .

Lowercase letters don ’ t ordinarily need letterspacing .
Capital letters usually appear at the beginning of a word or sentence , so they ’ re designed to fit correctly next to lowercase letters . But when you use capital letters together , that spacing is too tight . That ’ s why you should add 5 – 12 % extra letterspacing to text in ◊ xref { all caps } or ◊ xref { small caps } . This is particularly important at small sizes ( e . g . , the footer of a court filing ) .
