The arrangement of space between objects, elements, or events. Can refer to physical distance or temporal intervals.
From Old French espace, from Latin spatium meaning 'room, area, distance.' The concept evolved from purely physical space to include temporal spacing and abstract arrangements by the 17th century.
Spacing is crucial in design, music, and even conversation - too little and things feel cramped, too much and they feel disconnected. Typography revolutionized with the understanding that the space between letters and words is as important as the letters themselves.
