Funnily enough the example given of good “L” and “T” kerning in the word SALTY is badly kerned, the letters are kerned too close to each other. The classic trick is to look at 3-letter groups at a time, one word at a time.
> The pattern of vertical stripes means that kerns can only be a multiple of the stripe repeat (not quite true, and i have sketched out more general versions of this, but it is true for this font).
Someone started complaining that two pieces of text weren’t the same color. They were exactly the same color though. We’d built an entire UI full of optical illusions.
Look at them touching. Gross.
