In a few bookstores over the holidays, I’ve taken a look at Annie Leibovitz’ new monograph At Work and thought, “Nice book. Bad kerning.” Designer David Croy agrees, and offers a great little mini-kerning lesson here. I’ve also found this kerning lesson from David Jury’s book About Face to be very helpful. Jury sorts letters into the basic shapes of triangles, circles, and squares and takes it from there. Of course, practice makes perfect.
