Precedent setting the stage for kerning and tracking piqued my interest
Precedent setting the stage for kerning and tracking piqued my interest Just before logging off for the day, and ready to boogie out of the joint an email landed squarely in my inbox cordially inviting me into the management office accompanied by the buzz of my cell phone: (cue the sound of ominous music): I unexpectedly got called expecting to be handed a pink slip (if you catch me drift) suddenly my heart beat a mile a minute and palms of hands perspired like a wet dish rag expecting to experienced a chop job expecting to be chewed out by a hack after rapping lightly on the door before heading into the office by my namesake. Even before taking a seat an onslaught of rapid fire babbling besieged me as way of introduction, when receiving most recent assignment for Matthew Scott Harris (me), communicated by amiable chap who interestingly enough shared being christened with exact same birth name as mine. Rather than attempt to scribble fast speaking mile a minute brilliantly frenzied novel theme prior experience taught being prepared to stow digital dictation devices. Upon readying recording device to playback at my leisure, I dramatically signaled to him to repeat speaking, albeit ideally at 78 rotations per minute (RPM) while fingers of mine lightly, yet impatiently drummed upon the table awaiting significantly more succinct delivery, (yet bracing to be saddled with what I expected to be impossible mission even for the stalwart Peter Graves body double) renown for his fast talking verbal outcome concerning next poetic endeavor, yet to borrow a football analogy the writer of these word needed self restraint less primed and prone to block and tackle from him. The moment he started speaking, I then immediately ceased tapping sound anticipating far out and groovy prompting me to hang loose able, eager, ready, and willing to synthesize his incomprehensible jibber jabber, which hopped out outburst spurred me to ask him to talk slower finding myself issuing imprecations as he blithely ignored minor plea of mine and quickly resumed chattering away with animation, excitation, and irritation bypassing feeble attempts of mine mindlessly buzzfeeding and brainstorming, an experienced "aha moment," thence he immediately explained to yours truly (me) the idea, which will hopefully be clearly expressed courtesy the following poem. Though instinctively writing countless bureaucratic reports (but more particularly typing), never did especial attention get paid to the particular nuances (never mind the terms) of kerning and tracking that got brought to my attention after being informed courtesy (as iterated above) my namesake. Kerning developed during the era of metal typesetting, where the term "kern" referred to the part of a metal letter that extended beyond its body, allowing for closer spacing between certain letter combinations, making it a manual process where typographers would physically adjust the spacing between individual characters by hand to achieve a visually pleasing result; essentially, kerning has been around since the early days of printing with metal type. The French term originated from the Latin cardo, cardinis, meaning "hinge." In the days when all type was cast metal, the parts of a typecasting sort that needed to overlap adjacent letters simply hung off the sort slug's edge. Those overhanging metal pieces were called kerns. Tracking is a similar process to kerning that focuses on the spacing between all letters in a word, rather than just a few letters in a word. Tracking is usually uniform, meaning you apply an equal amount of space between each letter so that it doesn't look too spaced out (how one feels after getting loaded up) or too tight. Tracking is the process of loosening or tightening a block of text to make it look hip. For most general writing purposes, the "best" lead type considered to be HB (medium hardness), as it offers a good balance between heart of darkness and smoothness while minimizing smudging, making it suitable for everyday use across different writing surfaces.
