Leading in 2D design refers to the space between lines of text or visual elements. It is the vertical distance between one line of text or image and the next. The purpose of leading is to improve readability and create a sense of visual flow. The optimal amount of leading varies depending on the font size and style, as well as the amount of text and the overall design of the layout. Adequate leading can make a design comfortable to read, while too much or too little can make it difficult to read and decrease overall readability.
