“What is the desirable amount of space between

words? Too much or too little makes reading difficult.

Words placed too close together force the reader to
work harder to distinguish one word from another.
On the other hand, words placed too far apart create
white spaces that run down the page as ‘rivers’ and
disrupt the natural movement of the eye from left to

right. Proper wordspacing not only creates greater

readability but is more pleasing esthetically.”
