A positive look at negative space

Article Abstract:

Negative space is an important aspect of type design and the legibility of a type face. It refers to the white space in and around letters and can also refer to the space between letters. By means of the digital process called kerning, negative space is controlled. In addition, the general reduction of letterspace is another function of kerning. The application of kerning improves legibility and allows more letters into a line but an overuse of it will affect legibility.
