Kerning
In most fonts, achieving a perfect typographic rhythm by default is impossible due to the optical properties of letters and their combinations. To balance this rhythm, kerning pairs are created—these are specific adjustments to the spacing between particular pairs of letters. We perform kerning manually using our proprietary methodology as part of our standard production process. We can kern a single font style or an entire typeface family, and our service can cover the full glyph set or be limited to specific languages, character sets, or custom groups of glyphs.
What’s Included
- Kerning for a single font
- Kerning for a font family
- Kerning for specific glyph groups, languages, or alphabets
- Kerning review of third-party fonts (from other studios/designers) with feedback and recommendations
What’s Not Included
- In-depth consultations on kerning methodology in various software programs
- Kerning training or tutorials
What You’ll Receive
- Font files in the required formats with fully integrated kerning data
- For review services: A PDF presentation with actionable recommendations for kerning improvement
Hinting
Font hinting (TrueType Hinting) is a set of instructions embedded within a font file to ensure it renders crisply and legibly on screens with lower to medium resolutions, as well as on specialized displays. Hinting is essential for optimal on-screen performance, particularly in Windows, Linux, and Android environments. Our process combines meticulous manual hinting with proprietary software to deliver superior results with maximum efficiency.
What’s Included
- Hinting for a single font
- Complete hinting for an entire font family
- Hinting for a specific subset of glyphs
- Hinting review and audit for fonts from other studios or designers
- Advanced review, testing, and refinement using our proprietary software and testing platforms
What’s Not Included
