In my first job I was trained by an old-school typographer who made the transition from lead to DTP.

Now, 20 years later, whenever I see bad kerning I hear his voice saying "You could drive a bus through that!".

Someday I hope to have my voice ringing through the ages 😁

Student's here! What's bad kerning ?

@reirep Spacing between the letters, look at the space between the C and E compared to the other letters

@LucaScorpion thanks :)

Nice. Share your knowledge and it will happen to you 😀

Haha "pixeltherapy" is a very appropriate username for your post...

@reirep Try this online kerning test :)

@pixeltherapy O shit that site does not work on mobile, at all :P

@LucaScorpion yeah, a slight oversight methinks! Still, it's excellent... take it to the mainframe!!!

@pixeltherapy thanks, now I know how hard it is... I'm a total looser with this game :D

@reirep I got a perfect score first time I did it :)

It's all about visual balance, looking at the whole word rather than letter pairs. With practice it just feels right.

In Adobe apps you can cheat a bit by changing kerning from 'metrics' to 'optical' in the paragraph palette. Then only a small amount of manual kerning is needed on headings.
