Sometimes it's the extreme examples that help us understand a concept. I came across two examples of work spacing this week. The space between words, whether on the same line or between the lines aids us in reading the actual words. When reading, the eyes flow over groups of words together and the brain comprehends their meaning. If something obstructs this flow, readability and comprehension decreases.
In the examples below, too much space causes us to pause and question whether these words are together or not. White space is good, but too much between words can create confusion and distraction.
