That's embarrassing.



With marks like that, typographers would choke in their saliva laughing.

Kerning is the adjustment of space between individual letters. Though most programs that deal with fonts come with auto-kerning, I still rebelliously adjust them manually. This is to achieve a better... okay, okay... I'm just anal... result. Especially to headlines.

There is only 1 formula for kerning. Your eyes.

No, I'm serious.







Give it a try. A good practice for the future if you are making a self promo ad, and the like. Coincidentally, you can also hire a freelance* designer to do it for you.

So, kern you?
