Changing additional character formatting
In Illustrator you can change a lot of text attributes besides font, font size, and color. As in
InDesign, text attributes are split between character and paragraph formatting and can be found
in the Properties panel, Control panel, and two main panels: the Character panel and the
Paragraph panel. The Character panel, which you can access by clicking More Options ( ) in
the Character section of the Properties panel or by choosing Window > Type > Character,
contains formatting for selected text such as font, font size, kerning, and more. In this section,
you will apply some of the many possible attributes to experiment with the different ways you
can format text.
With the Selection tool ( ) selected, click the SAT/SUN type object.
In the Properties panel, change Leading ( ) to 63 pt.
Leading is the vertical space between lines of text. Adjusting the leading can be useful for
fitting text into a text area. In this case, it adds space between the lines of text so the text fits
better in the decorative lines on the artboard.
