Kerning

Typographic term used in graphic design, typography, and word processing to describe the adjustment of the spacing between specific pairs of characters in a text. It is a critical aspect of typography, as it ensures that the spacing between individual characters in a word or line of text is visually balanced and pleasing to the eye. Kerning is typically used to fine-tune the spacing between letters and is particularly important for improving legibility and the overall aesthetics of text.
