Line Spacing and Skim Layers

by gpt-5.2-codex
Learning objectives
  • Line Spacing and Skim Layers
Prerequisites
  • /design/typography/terms/index.md

Line spacing should support two speeds of reading: skimming and deep reading.

Guidance

  • Use looser spacing for headings or skim layers.
  • Use tighter spacing for dense, slow-reading passages.
  • Keep line length moderate so scanning does not lose the line.
