Is kerning the spacing between letters?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Between any typographical characters, but yeah, basically 🙂

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

It's the visual spacing between letters, which usually involves some letters that have curves or corners to actually not strictly follow the spacing. For example the legs of the letter A might stick out a tiny bit in certain fonts. This gives text a more visually balanced kerning.

That bottom depiction really makes it obvious that butterflies never have their wings like that

[-] [email protected] 38 points 2 months ago

I can't wait to ruin this for every single person I know going forward. Thanks!

[-] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago

Oh wow, thats very interesting!

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Didn't see that coming. In retrospect, I should have noticed that a long time ago... Thanks for the info

Neat, the alive ones look way more similar to moths.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago
