Neben den extrem überteuerten Getränken (3,90€ für alles am Automaten) provoziert der #flughafen München #MUC auch noch mit #kerning #typographie Missbrauch #akzent #deppenapostroph

I have been doing slightly esoteric kerning this week. I made a simple KPair script for Glyphs, that does a "all choices from row 1, paired with all choices from row 2". You start with the two rows you want selected.
1st example is to preview/test/edit kerning for math operators and numbers. That's the first two images.
2nd example is more interesting for me: Multiple alts, including alts not in the same Stylistic Set.
Code is at https://gitlab.com/drj11/script-glyphs
Designing a font with alts and stylistic sets is great fun (Ⅱ). It's like finding bonus kerning in the cupboard after you've finished the kerning buffet.
Tempted to do one of those "we were never meant to kern, we have been played for absolute fools" memes, as i enter the completely deranged "Kern /A.cv01 /Eth" into my commit message.
So, you think you are a typography master? Try your skills with this fun letter spacing game: https://type.method.ac/#
Getting to the end of the kerning game, and realising, with mild apprehension, that i now have to play New Game+ with smallcaps (`smcp`) enabled.
Adding to my kerning strings; today:
Ctenophora Cnidocytes Czech Clash
Django D’Amato Dynamic Eft
Ethernet Tblisi Tmesis Tsar
Tzu Ybarra Ychydig Ygritte
Ylang Yma Ynys Yttrium
Ywain TikTok YouTube
Is it just us or is something a bit off with the kerning/spacing in regards to the Apple Vision Pro logo? Or is it just the V next to the the 🍎 that is trowing us off?

Really happy to see the latest Kern On respects my kerning classes and can easily be integrated to my MetricMachine workflow. Thanks @timahrens! #kerning #typedesign
Kerning digits? The following string contains all digit pairs without duplicates:
00102030405060708091121314151617181922324252627282933435363738394454647484955657585966768697787988990

2/2 noteworthy is the fact that negative #kerning values appear to be ignored? This includes the 'Tight' and 'Very tight' buttons having no function?
