How about “Daily kerning”.
I’m kerning everyday.
What’s of the “kerning” ?
In typography, kerning is the process of adjusting the spacing between characters in a proportional font, usually to achieve a visually pleasing result. Kerning adjusts the space between individual letter forms, while tracking (letter-spacing) adjusts spacing uniformly over a range of characters.
Because, I have always wanted to try kerning.

I had playing VJ a few (maybe ten) years ago. I found beeple (Mike Winkelmann) when I had looking for VJ clip/samples.
He is very very nice(incredible) creator! Quality, quantity and his “EVERYDAYS” projects are awesome…! I respect him.
That’s why, I’m started kerning training in 2nd October 2017.
So in a practices, I kerning words that “minimal”.
“minimal” is a very simple. but it includes space, counter, shoulder, serif. In the situation, I used Helvetica.
This concept is “minimal” as a genre of Minimal. (e.g. minimal techno, routine, pattern, phrase, sequencer.)
- To make a space in Cyan “minimal”.
- I gaze at magenta “minimal” at in ten seconds.
- I trying cyan “minimal” kerning in less than 3min.
- Cyan “minimal” layered on magenta “minimal”.
Magenta and cyan are warm and cool color, it needs visual adjustment. but I didn’t visual adjustment them. It’s so difficult.
Magenta “minimal” is sample, I had make that in the optical kerning and manual kerning but it has subtle shifted, in between [i m], [a l]. This issue is my skill not enough to make a typography. 😔
If anyone make a “minimal”, i want it. 😄
