Non-Designer’s Type Book, The, Second Edition

But Wait—There’s More!

Now, after all the work you put into adjusting the letterspacing, tracking, and kerning of your type, your carefully chosen specs are further influenced by the hyphenation controls you set and the composing method you choose. And InDesign can’t always do what you want, especially if you justify the text. But that’s another story.

For now, become familiar with the manual kerning, manual tracking, and automatic letterspacing features. Know when and why to use each one and how to have complete control over them. And listen to your eyes.
