The letter-spacing property is used in CSS and certain HTML elements. It specifies the spacing between text characters. It controls the space in addition to the default spacing between letters in a given section.


Values[]

normal The spacing is the normal spacing for the current font. This value allows the user agent to alter the space between characters in order to justify text.
<length> Indicates inter-character space in addition to the default space between characters. Values may be negative, but there may be implementation-specific limits. User agents may not further increase or decrease the inter-character space in order to justify text. Examples of length values are pt, em, px, etc.


HTML example:

<span style="letter-spacing:10px;">QWERTY</span>

That produces: QWERTY

h1 {
    letter-spacing:5px;
