The image in the ad is great. But that has to be the worst kerning I've ever seen. It's so bad I'm not even sure it can be considered kerning. Maybe someone just added a few spaces in between "high fidelity" and "tape" for no apparent reason?
- avhon1 4y agoMy guess is that the image was intended to be displayed as a full-spread advertisement in a magazine, and the extra space in the middle makes the words appear the correct distance apart when viewed on bound pages.
- Thorrez 4y agoOh, thanks! And the ad was designed so that none of the important parts of the picture are in the horizontal center.
