Making words in formula narrower

Question

I am using this snippet:

\(PSE = 1- POFOD\)

which results in this:

Which is pretty stretched out. How do I make this narrower ?

math italic is designed to make a product of variables not look like a word so never use it for multi-letter identifiers, use \mathit{PSE} or \mathrm{PSE} — David Carlisle, Dec 13 '17 at 13:20
Welcome to TeX.SX! Please help us (and also you) and add a minimal working example (MWE), that illustrates your problem. Reproducing the problem and finding out what the issue is will be much easier when we see compilable code, starting with \documentclass and ending with \end{document}. — subham soni, Dec 13 '17 at 13:22
@DavidCarlisle \mathrm{PSE} works out perfectly for me, thank you, post an answer I'll accept — zython, Dec 13 '17 at 13:30
