What is kerning and why should you care?
Kerning is the fine art of adjusting space between letters for readability and aesthetic purposes. It’s an often-overlooked task in today’s computer-driven design.
Kerning involves adjusting the space between individual letter forms, as opposed to tracking, which involves adding or removing space between all the letter forms in a word. It helps to improve readability and make the world of a more beautiful place. It may also be the key to world peace — just wait and see.
