single-spaced
No extra gaps
Single-spaced describes text with no extra space between lines—each line sits directly beneath the one above, separated only by the minimal distance needed to prevent letters from touching.
The term contrasts with double-spaced, where a blank line appears between each typed line: The professor required double-spaced essays, but the syllabus was single-spaced.
As a verb, to single-space is to format text this way.
