5 Typography Control Tricks That Boost Engagement
Trick #1: Master Font Family Pairing
Choose two complementary fonts: one for headings, one for body. Elementor lets you preview pairings live.
Trick #2: Optimize Letter Spacing
Too tight and text feels cramped; too loose and readability drops. Adjust letter spacing in 0.1px increments for pixel-perfect results.
Trick #3: Perfect Your Line-Height
Proper line-height enhances scan-ability. Set it between 1.4–1.6 for body text; tighten to 1.2 for headings.
Trick #4: Use Text Transform Strategically
ALL CAPS for emphasis, Sentence case for friendliness. Experiment in Elementor until the tone aligns with your brand.
Trick #5: Leverage Word Spacing
Small tweaks to word spacing can dramatically improve readability on mobile devices. Elementor’s slider makes it effortless.
