Usage

​
Wide letter spacing

Text("SPACED")
    .tracking(500)

​
Tight letter spacing

Text("Tight")
    .tracking(-200)

​
Heading with tracking

Notes

  • tracking uses milli-em units where 1000 = 1em. For example, tracking(500) at a 16pt font size adds 8pt of spacing between each character.
  • This is equivalent to CSS letter-spacing but uses a different unit scale.
