And since it is very irritating to be annoyed every time this happens, Randall suggests that you teach this to someone you really hate. The comic explains that once a person learns what good kerning is, they will get irritated by shoddy kerning in the future.
One character is clearly frustrated while the other character doesn't notice the problem at all. The space between the C and E is almost as wide as the space between the words. In the comic, the kerning in the sign is badly done: the spacing between C and I (in "City"), between C and E (in "Offices"), and even slightly between F and I (also in "Offices") is inconsistent. People who specialize in graphic design or layout (and, thus, who are exposed to digital text on a regular basis) can become hyper-sensitive to bad kerning, seeing it in signs or other printed materials prepared by people without such sensitivity to bad kerning. A good graphic designer, however, can compensate for bad kerning by individually adjusting the spacing between problem letters.
#KERNING REFERS TO THE SPACE IN BETWEEN LETTERS. SOFTWARE#
Typical non-designers using basic word processing software don't pay much attention to kerning. Kerning has been an issue in typography since the early era of printing presses and movable type but has taken on new challenges with digital printing. Thus, "AV" and "VA" sequences have to be specially programmed to overlap slightly. If one were to imagine each letter as existing inside a rectangle, "A" and "V", for example, happen to be negatives of one another space-wise, and as a result if an "A" was simply set alongside a "V" (or vice versa) where the rectangles do not overlap, the spacing would end up looking unusually large. Proper kerning is more difficult than it sounds. (This latter case has resulted in the slang term " keming" for this type of kerning.) Extreme behavior of bad kerning can lead to humorous or inappropriate text. A common kerning issue is an "r" and an "n" together looking like an "m". Bad kerning is thus text that has so much space between letters of one word that it appears to be two words, or so little space between letters that they run together. In typography, kerning refers to the spacing between consecutive letters in printed material or the process of adjusting said spacing. Title text: I have never been as self-conscious about my handwriting as when I was inking in the caption for this comic.
