The kerning on “NATIONAL PARK” feels quite loose, even given the context (normally wouldn’t comment this on HN, but given that this is expressly a typography related website...)
- Freak_NL 7y agoLooks fine in the demonstration area for the various weights below. There has to be some space between the lines if you were to use a router to make a wooden sign with these (the stated design inspiration).
- dfc 7y agoWhy would there have to be some space between the lines if you used a router?
- dmckeon 7y agoDepending on the wooden sign material, and the desired life expectancy of the sign, close kerning might leave a narrow bit of word that could warp and chip away after a few years of exposure to the elements.

- hughes 7y agoIt's especially noticeable around the T - the visual area between A and T feels like about twice that between T and I.
- mc32 7y agoSpecially the A-T-I part feels like it could be better.

- ygra 7y agoKerning in general seems off in many examples. Either the webfont lacks kerning adjustments or that part is a bit unfinished.
