La justification in the design and layout focuses on three elements: spaces between words, partitions and spaces between letters. Its use and perfect distribution in space will give a perfect appearance to our texts.
- Space between words: you have to maintain a optimal and constant space between words, but always taking into account the line spacing.
To increase the space we have you enter the different words It is advisable to follow the following parameters, knowing that the horizontal scale is increased, if expanded font families are used, and with large line measurements.
If what we want is to reduce it we can use font families condensed, narrow the horizontal scale or with small line measurements.
- Partitions: It is the key to the justification, but we must follow certain rules when using it. They must be done correctly with respect to the spelling rules of each language, we must not leave less than three letters in front of each script, you should not split the words Composed with hard script, they will never break words in headlines or subtitles, we should not have two lines in a row with a dash.
- Letter spacing: It is also called kerning, and should be little used and avoided as much as possible. The typographies have been designed with a line spacing well-studied determined that if we modify it will become a typographic alteration important. But if we have no choice but to change it, we must know that it will affect the space between words and this must also be varied and readjusted to the new characteristics.

«- Spacing between letters: It is also called leading, and it should be little used and avoid it as much as possible.»
The leading isn't the space between baselines of two consecutive lines?
I think what they refer to as leading could well be kerning / tracking.
I am only a student of Graphic Design and Editorial, so I get confused.
A greeting.
You are absolutely right, excuse me. It was a mistake at the time of writing, I wanted to say kerning and not leading, right now I change it so there is no more confusion. Thanks for noticing. A greeting. Pandora
