How to Use Kerning & Select Gap to Design Letter Spacing Inside Typogram

 

The Kerning Step

Once you have finalized your logo in Distinctive Logo, your logo will appear on the kerning artboard, ready to be kerned. In the kerning step, you learn the importance of kerning and pay close attention to spaces between letters. 

Fine Tune Spacing with Select Gap 

Select Gap 

Click on Select Gap, and click on the triangle selection icon to select specific gaps between letters. Once you have chosen your space, you can view info about your letter pair gap on the right side Info Panel. From there, you can adjust the gap using numbers or pressing the up “↑” or down arrow “↓” on your keyboard. You can also select multiple gaps and increase spacing.
