How to set letter spacing using CSS ?
In this article, we will see how to set letter-spacing using CSS.
Approach: The letter-spacing CSS property is iused to set the horizontal spacing behavior between the text characters. This value is added to the natural spacing between characters while rendering the text. Positive values help expand the text while negative values help contract the text.
Syntax:
/* Keyword value */ letter-spacing: normal; /* <length> values */ letter-spacing: 0.3em; letter-spacing: 3px; letter-spacing: .3px; /* Global values */ letter-spacing: inherit; letter-spacing: initial; letter-spacing: unset;
Example:
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html><html> <head> <style> .div1 { letter-spacing: .2rem; } .div2 { letter-spacing: 1px; } .div3 { letter-spacing: normal; } .div4 { letter-spacing: -1px; } </style></head> <body> <div class="div1"> GeeksforGeeks (letter-spacing: .2rem) </div> <div class="div2"> GeeksforGeeks (letter-spacing: 1px) </div> <div class="div3"> GeeksforGeeks (letter-spacing: normal) </div> <div class="div4"> GeeksforGeeks (letter-spacing: -1px) </div></body> </html> |
