You know that the pun is on the word “corn.” What’s a kern? Kerning is adjusting the space between letters so they look like the right amount of space is between them. Unlike what typewriters did. Look at AWA and MNM. If you put a vertical straightedge between the letters, you can see that the A-W letters actually overlap. Obviously, the M-N series letters don’t, but the spaces look the same. That’s kerning.
