Does it count as kerning when it's hand-written?

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Technically, no. The kern is/was the overhang of part of a letter over a type block's edge. But, if we can make the jump and can apply the concept to digital fonts, then I can make the jump and apply it to handwritten text.
