A Good Example of Kerning
rogersgeorge on November 28th, 2022
Let’s switch from writing to typography for a post here, okay?
Kerning is the art/science of adjusting the space between letters so they look right; in other words so the distance between the letters looks the same.
I ran into this logo of a newspaper I used to read sometimes when I was a kid. It used to be two papers (The Minneapolis Evening Star and the Minneapolis Morning Tribune), but they combined a while back and blended the two names into one. Look especially at the capital T.
The distances between the letters all look pretty much the same, don’t they? That’s good kerning.
