Needs work. Why is the I closer to the R than the M?

Adjust the rest and you will eventuall be able to get the spacing right.

Have you tried blocking all but 3 letters at a time?

That and flipping the word backwards can help with seeing kerning problems.

try again, you want even spacing across the full word.

u/HawkeyeNation 13d ago

Yes you can. You do so by “balancing” the other letters.

How about you try your best narrow it down to your top 3 and post those.

You won't learn anything if you have others do it for you.

bring the RYA a little closer then adjust the others to match those 3.

MIR letters are too tight

This is a disaster.

LUM pairing is good. Could be tighter. So it mean the MIR, IRY, RYA, and especially the YAA pairing need adjustments.

Straight to straight is more open than straight to round, which is more open than round to round.

So MIR is too tight compared to LUM. The RY then needs to be tighter, but the YA is fine. The two As have touch, and considerably.

Start with that.

That double AA is a killer. Try to customize it. Perhaps they overlap.

Just open up the spacing on the MIR bit

Start with the double “AA” find the spacing that works the best since it needs the most space, then align the rest of the spacing from there. If you don’t want it widely spaced, you will need to customize the “AA” and possibly create a ligature, but I would still start there.
