What (who) is kerning - definition

ASPECT OF TYPOGRAPHY
Vertical Kerning; Law of Optical Volumes; Kearning; Kern (typography); Kerning pair
  • Some words are particularly difficult to space. The name of the [[Okavango River]] in southwest Africa is difficult because the letters ''AVA'' fit together well, but this makes the spaces on either side seem very large. Either wider or tighter letter spacing may help here.

kerning         
<text> The process of reducing the spacing between certain pairs of letters to improve their appearance. When a font is created, each character is given a width that includes some space around it so that the letters don't run into each other when displayed or printed. This can be thought of as an invisible box around each character. Some pairs of characters such as A and V, look better if the boxes overlap slightly, bringing the characters closer together (but still not touching). See also tracking, leading. (1996-06-07)

Kerning

In typography, kerning is the process of adjusting the spacing between characters in a proportional font, usually to achieve a visually pleasing result. Kerning adjusts the space between individual letterforms, while tracking (letter-spacing) adjusts spacing uniformly over a range of characters. In a well-kerned font, the two-dimensional blank spaces between each pair of characters all have a visually similar area. The term "keming" is sometimes used informally to refer to poor kerning (the letters r and n placed too close together being easily mistaken for the letter m).

The related term kern denotes a part of a type letter that overhangs the edge of the type block.
