Summary

The video explains why kerning is crucial for typography, how to use auto, optical, and manual settings in design software, and offers practice tips to improve visual spacing.

Key Points

  • Tracking controls overall character spacing, while kerning fine‑tunes the gap between two letters. 
  • Kerning adjusts the spacing between specific pairs of characters and can make a design look professional or immature. 
  • Kerning should be applied mainly to titles, headings, logos, or wordmarks, not to full body copy. 
  • Consistently applying thoughtful kerning to titles and wordmarks elevates the overall quality of a design. 
  • Illustrator and Photoshop provide auto, optical, and zero kerning options, with optical generally giving the best results. 
  • To manually adjust kerning, place the cursor between two characters and use the plus/minus controls or scroll the mouse wheel. 
  • Capital letters, especially when using All Caps, often need additional kerning adjustments because gaps become more noticeable. 
  • After setting a text block to optical kerning, fine‑tune problematic pairs by increasing or decreasing their values as needed. 
  • Uneven visual gaps often arise from the font’s design and require manual correction for a balanced look. 
  • Practicing with tools like method.ac’s “Kern Me” game helps develop an eye for proper spacing.
