A guy at a Portland type meetup said my kerning tool felt 'too smart' and he was right
Back in 2019 I built a little script that auto-adjusted spacing based on letter pair guesses, and I was pretty proud of it. He told me straight up that it made every font feel the same because I was skipping the part where my eyes do the work. Now I want to know, do you let your tools make the call or do you still nudge each pair by hand?
