InDesign Typesetting

Kerning - adjusting the Space between the characters

Tracking -  process of tightening or loosing a block of text.

Leading -  process of adjusting the vertical space between lines of type. 

Widows -  words at the end or at the beginning of a line that are separated from the rest of the text. This separates a word leaving the first part of the line on the first line and the second part of the word on the line below.

Orphans -  few words or maybe a word it's own row in a paragraph creating too much white space between paragraphs.

We experimented on different typesettings when creating our own magazine.
