Question
Should I adjust kerning on every piece of text?
Answer
No. Small body text rarely needs manual kerning, so save the effort for large display text.
- Let automatic metric or optical kerning handle body copy
- Manually kern headlines, logos, and display text above 24pt
- Watch for uneven gaps around capital letters and pairs like AV or To
- Zoom in on a proof to catch spacing issues before printing
