Inkscape, the popular free vector line drawing app, adjusts standard text attributes such as font, size, and color. It also has five other attributes related to spacing. Change the spacing values ​​for letters and words for finer control over how words appear on the canvas. For example, if you want a word to stretch across the title area of ​​a poster, change the letter or word spacing to give it an elongated effect without increasing the font size or stretching the text. Use these five spacing options to change the space between characters and words, rotate characters on an axis, and shift text up or down.

Adjust letter spacing to change the amount of empty space between characters. This change affects selected characters or every character in a text box, whether it's a single word, a sentence, or an entire paragraph.

Reduce letter spacing to fit text in a limited space, or squeeze letters close together to create a strong visual text effect.
