Introduction

This is what we'll create in this episode: a bold cover title with tight leading and negative tracking, a loose all-caps kicker, and a colored word accent. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the Complete Adobe InDesign Series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. A large title requires different adjustments than body text. Spacing that looks appropriate at a small size will appear too spaced out when enlarged. Open the cover file.

Step 1: Size and leading

Select the title text 'Pesona Timur Indonesia' using the Type Tool. In the Control Panel, change the size to 60 points and leading to 56 points. A smaller leading than the font size makes the title line feel tight and cohesive.

Step 2: Negative tracking

Still with the selected title, enter tracking minus 25. Tracking adjusts the spacing between all selected letters. At a large size, slightly negative tracking makes the title feel denser and stronger. Kerning adjusts the space between two specific letters.

Step 3: Manual kerning

Place the cursor between the letters T and I, then press the Left Arrow key several times. The excessive space between these letter pair is reduced.

Step 4: Kicker All Caps

Select the kicker above the title, special report. Click the All Caps button in the Control Panel, then enter tracking positive 200. Small, loose all-caps letters are easy to read and act as a rubric marker.

Step 5: Text color

Select the word 'Timur' in the title, then click its swatch in the Swatches panel. Only the selected word changes color. Color accents like this direct the reader's eye to the keyword.

Step 6: Baseline shift

Select the number 2026 in the subtitle, then enter baseline shift 3 points. The number rises slightly from the baseline. Baseline shift is useful for symbols, superscripts, or minor optical adjustments.

Done!

Done. We've already arranged the display title with tight size and leading, negative tracking, manual kerning, spaced kicker oil caps, word color, and baseline shift. In the next module, we'll delve into character and paragraph typography, starting from font, size, and leading.
