Space between lines of large titles

Question

I'm setting up a title sheet after the book cover and I'm having a hard time.

This title has very small line spacing.

I've tried using \setstretch{xx} but it didn't work.

What can I do?

The code is very simple:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\pagestyle{empty} % No headers
\newpage
%
% Folha de rosto
%
$,$
%
\vfill \vfill
$,$
%
\begin{center}
 \textsc{\Huge{Huge Title Very Important}}\ %Título
\end{center}
%
%
$,$
\vspace{0.25cm}
~\hrulefill ~\
\vspace{0.5cm}
\centering\textsc{\large{\textbf{Especial Colection}}}\ %Coleção
\vspace{1.5cm}
 $,$
\vfill \vfill
%
\end{document}

Thank you very much for your attention.

you end the paragraph so are setting Huge text on the baseline for normalsize — David Carlisle, Sep 17 '21 at 07:28
@Symbol1 that's working around the erroneous input rather than fixing the error though. — David Carlisle, Sep 17 '21 at 07:29

Your problem here is that \Huge doesn't have an accompanying \par that would set the appropriate baseline skip - necessary to allow for gaps between lines. Instead you should use a construction like this:

\begin{center}
  \scshape\Huge
  Huge Title Very Important
\end{center}

Here's a complete, minimal example:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\pagestyle{empty} % No headers
\vspace*{\fill}
\begin{center}
  \scshape\Huge
  Huge Title Very Important
\end{center}
\vspace{25mm}
\noindent~\hrulefill ~
\vspace{5mm}
\begin{center}
  \bfseries\large Special Collection
\end{center}
\vfill
\end{document}

Note that, by default, there is no bold small caps font. To achieve that, read Small Caps and Bold Face.

Beautiful! Thank you so much. – Marcio Lord Sep 18 '21 at 11:23 — Marcio Lord, Sep 18 '21 at 11:23
