Artist's Comments

I made this for Shin the other night #u# he had a question after looking at my poster about how to kern things, so I popped open photoshop and made a little chart!

I guess not everyone knew this was here, but Photoshop has a pretty...well, somewhat robust text editor, for the little things. You can get to it by Window > Type, and may have to make it show you more options to see all this stuff.

To get the Kerning highlightable, just place the cursor between two letters. To make it show you Spacing, just select the text you want to space!

Have fun! but so help me if you use this knowledge to harm Typography I WILL FIND YOU, AND WHEN I DO I WILL SHOW YOU THE SPECIAL KIND OF SPACING I CAN USE ON YOUR HEAD.

NEGATIVE SPACING.

Because penguins are baking cupcakes on the moon, that's why.

On the Mac, you can also hold the Option key down, place your cursor between the letters you want to adjust, and use the right and left arrow keys ;]

There's a shortcut for it on the PC, I just don't remember it =x

Very handy, I've always wanted a simple way of looking at it! D: Thank you!

Awesome, thanks for that! I'm doing Typography right now in my Visual Communications class. It's not my kind of thing, but it is definitely interesting!
