We’ll return to 2001 kerning in a follow up article. That got us looking at kerning generally.
Our ‘ 2001: A Space Odyssey’ design article got feedback from two readers about the kerning in our remake of the title card. It’s necessary because letters take up different amounts of space and the letter shape can clash with the ones either side.Īt often one topic leads to another. Kerning adjusts the horizontal space between letters so they look right to the human eye.
We’ll explain kerning and why you mostly don’t have to worry about it. Kerning is a font setting that’s important in Word and PowerPoint.
