As a developer, this seems like something that should be handled automatically by a typeface.
- Nat0 15y agoIt would be really interesting to see software that would accomplish this. The tricky part is that the correct kerning changes based upon what font size the text is. Most typefaces are optimized for body copy, not headlines.
- ugh 15y agoAdobe (for example) offers automatic kerning. It’s great most of the time but not all of the time.
- duopixel 15y agoYes, it is. But sometimes you need to adjust it depending on your needs. For example, highway signage needs extra tracking (space between letters) and you often need to adjust it manually. Also, if you ever designed a typeface (not very likely) then this is a skill you absolutely need.
