One of the most common questions we get is “How do I reduce the space between lines in Squarespace?” There are a few different ways to do this, and the method you use will depend on what you’re trying to achieve.

If you want to reduce the space between lines of text within a block of content, you can do so by adding the following code to your Custom CSS:

p {
  line-height: 1;
}

This will reduce the space between lines of text within paragraphs. If you want to adjust the space between lines for other elements, such as headings, you can use the following code:

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
  line-height: 1;
}
PRO TIP: If you are not careful, reducing the space between lines in Squarespace can make your text look cramped and difficult to read. Make sure to proofread your text after making any changes to line spacing, and consider increasing the font size if necessary.

You can also use this CSS code to Target specific elements on your site. For example, if you only want to reduce the space between lines of text in headings on your blog posts, you could use the following code:

.blog-post h1, .blog-post h2, .blog-post h3, .blog-post h4, .blog-post h5, .blog-post h6 {
  line-height: 1;
}

If you want to reduce the space between all lines of text on your site, you can add the following code to your Custom CSS:

* {
  line-height: 1;
}

Be aware that this will affect all elements on your site that use line-height, so it's best used as a last resort. It's also worth noting that reducing the space between lines of text can make your content more difficult to read.

CSS is a powerful tool that gives you complete control over the appearance of your Squarespace site. With a little bit of code, you can make any changes you want - including reducing the space between lines of text.
