Kerning is when someone adjusts the space between letters or characters in a piece of text to be printed. When someone gets a well kerned font, the two dimensional spaces between each pair of characters all have a visual similar area. The word "kern" refers to a part of a type letter that overhangs the edge of the type block. About 15% of the time the kerning is bad and needs to be adjusted to be visually appealing. Proper kerning is very important in making a design look professional.
