How about diagno curve and diagno straight?

Does E and S considered straight and curve pls help 🙏

Quick and to the point by experts. Thank you!

Finally something I really appreciate

WOW. Thank you!!

What about a diagonal next to a curve??? 😭😭

I've searched for every guide to leanr kerning better, but the result wasnt good. I watched this video, and now it is so easy. 3 sizes for the space beetween letters, short, normal and weight. depending on the font the short size could be short 1 and short 2. same for normal and weight. now the font is kearned preatty well. 1 minute

very helpful

Wt abt curves and diagonals?

Curve/curve = tight
Straight/straight = open
Straight/curve = normal
Diagonal/diagonal = very tight (ligatures)

Thank you so much for this video.
I would like to ask a question, you explained Curve/ Curve, Straight/ Straight, Straight/ Curve, Diagonal/ Diagonal but didn't explain Diagonal with Curves/ and Straight. Could you please explain them I'd be pleased.

What about a curve next to a diagonal?

great info.. where can i find the whole lindstrom video??

Chris, I have a question, should we define the amount of space we want first with a straight/curve pair "normal" before we kern other pairs/combination of letters?

It's the visual comfort that counts!
Informative video...

Short, quick and to the point. :) Great help.
"Remember, kerning is not done mathematically, but optically." Perfect!!!

learned a lot in this minute, but now I have even more questions :D like what about Diagoal/straight like "AI", what about "Fx" (because F is kinda straight but has a lot of open space, and so on.. i hope we'll get a deep dive into kerning :) (i guess 10min would be enough :D)

thanks for all this stuff

Does the same thing applies to sanserif fonts too?

Love this!

Man, I wish they could have explained that in school! I had a terribly vague type professor. This is soooo helpful in such a short amount of time.

Is it apply the same rules with sans serif typeface?

Hi, I hope you can assist. For some reason your video "Design Fundamentals: Typography Course 01 - Repitition & Contrast" is blocked in my country. Is there another link I can try to get view it?

I would love to hear more about kerning various capital letter combinations and whether there are any general recommendations on kerning superscript

Mystery unsolved

and what about a diagonal/curve ?

Really informative.... Hope we would see more such videos.

This is spacing, not kerning. The description in the video is correct but the title is wrong.

Thank you for your Graphika Manila talk and as a token of gratitude I will subscribe!

Important for basic access to the kerning but u should bring more value in this case, for example teach the peoples why it is like it is. Teach the peoples how to fish ;) for example where the eye is focusing on, especially for serif and non serif typefaces etc. There is more value when u understand why do you use more space between the D and the L... it has more to do with the serif than with the lines itself ... etc
I think it’s clear what I mean. Just my 2 cents!

Stay creative! Cheers out

You just changed my life lol no but really this is so helpful.

One step closer to actually understanding kerning! Thank you so much!

I've been binging so many videos all day from this channel. Some of the best content I've seen.

Super helpful. Thanks you guys!

Well I enjoy the longer and the short. The short will help to attract new followers and get mor content out while we really get to sit under the expertise of Do during the longer streams. Gaining wisdom and sharing it can’t always be short and sweet.

So cool, I wonder if it's possible to feature this guy more. He is a genius.

What about caps with lower case? Px / Po / To / Vo. For my eyes, there are differences in spacing when comparing top and bottom lines/curves.. Ex. the LC is closer to the UC's base in Vo, but not with vo

Will this get deleted soon like the previous vid ?:-(

I hope this is a warm up for a longer video because this was waaa-haaaay too short. Would love to see some examples of how and when to use kerning to give your type more or less punch.

When a minute video changes everything. :')

Hey this is great! More like this please!!

Thanks for that guys. It's good but I find it hard to concentrate on these long videos, I kinda wish you'd edit it down into bite size chunks.

Perfect!

It's amazing how much you can learn from such a short clip! It really helped me understand kerning better.

haha nice one a little hint, love the still off video type.. ;)
