Tailwind CSS Letter Spacing

Last Updated : 23 Jul, 2025

This class accepts lots of value in tailwind CSS in which all the properties are covered as in class form. It is the alternative to the CSS letter-spacing property. This class is used to set the spacing behavior between text characters i.e, increasing or decreasing the space between characters in a text.

Letter Spacing classes:

  • tracking-tighter: The tracking-tighter letter spacing for the zero space between characters, the value will be -0.05em.
  • tracking-tight: The tracking-tight letter spacing for the little space between characters, the value will be -0.025em.
  • tracking-normal: The tracking-normal letter spacing for the current font i.e no extra space between characters. This is the default value.
  • tracking-wide: The tracking-wide letter spacing for a little more space between characters compared to normal, the value will be 0.025em.
  • tracking-wider: The tracking-wider letter spacing for a little more space between characters compared to wide, the value will be  0.05em.
  • tracking-widest:  The tracking-widest letter spacing for a little more space between characters compared to wider, the value will be  0.1em.

Syntax:

<element class="tracking-{size}">...</element>
