Typography Basics & Figma - Kerning, Tracking, Letterspacing

In this short mini series I take a look at the basics of #typography in design and how we can leverage it to create more breathable and aesthetic designs that are easier to read for our users. I also take a look at some of the mistakes commonly made with typography that can lead to VERY unintended consequences... In this specific video I look at kerning, and tracking (also know as letter spacing) and how to adjust these settings from within #figma. ******************************************************************* ⌛️ TIMESTAMPS FOR THIS VIDEO: 0:00 - Intro 0:50 - Kerning and why it matters 5:45 - Adjusting tracking/letterspacing in your designs 8:27 - Final comments and wrap up ******************************************************************* ✋🏼 Come and Say Hi!
