Leading Type
Leading is the distance from the baseline of one line to the baseline of the next line and
is measured in points. Each line of type can have a different leading. You can specify a
specific setting or use Auto, which is a percentage of the largest type size on each line.
Leading is applied to horizontal type. If you want to change vertical spacing in type, you
need to adjust horizontal tracking.
