Leading
In
typography,
leading refers to the distance between the
baselines of successive lines of type. The term originated in the days of hand-
typesetting, when thin strips of
lead were inserted into the forms to increase the vertical distance between lines of type. The term is still used in modern
page layout software such as
QuarkXPress and
Adobe InDesign.
