Kerntype is a online game showing you the importance of proper letter spacing. Your mission is simple: achieve pleasant and readable text by distributing the space between letters. Typographers call this activity kerning. Your solution will be compared to a typographer’s solution, and you will be given a score depending on how close you nailed it.

I love this! And need it for work – I’m not a designer, but send design files often enough that I feel badly that I’m so bad at kerning :)

It’s okay. But you can’t kern the letters on the ends. Too many times I would want to bring every letter in tighter. But you can’t. Just not real enough for me.
