Optical kerning

Optical kerning is a technique used in typography to improve the spacing between specific pairs of characters. Unlike manual kerning, which relies on predefined space adjustments, optical kerning automatically analyzes the shapes of letters and adjusts the spacing based on visual perception. This ensures that the spacing appears consistent and aesthetically pleasing across different letter combinations, especially when characters have varying shapes or widths. It helps create a harmonious flow in text, making it easier to read and more visually appealing, especially in professionally designed fonts and layouts.
