Word spacing in typography refers to the size of the space between words. It should be distinguished from letter spacing (the spacing between the letters within each word) and sentence spacing (the spacing between sentences). Typographers may modify the spacing of letters or words in a body of type to aid readability and copy fit, or for aesthetic effect.
