Responsive Header spacing issue using fittext.js

[parker81]

I'm trying to build a responsive header for a website that I'm designing using the fittext.js plug-in. The text is scaling perfectly but I can't figure out how to nudge the text down so that the white color of the text connects with the white color of the body color.

You can check out an example of the header as I have it now and see an image of what I'm trying to make it look like here: http://andrewcmchugh.com/headerexample/

I've pasted in the code below, but I've tried using padding, margin and line height to move the div and the text down but there is always space below the text that takes the color or the black background. I'm not sure if this is just inherent in the fittext.js plug-in or if it is something that can be manipulated using CSS/HTML in some other way.

I'm really no jquery expert and I'm mostly self-taught when it comes to HTML and CSS so I'm hoping I'm just missing something that someone with more experience can help me out with. I appreciate any help - Thanks
