Kern Type — the kerning game for letter spacing
Tool powered by Kern Type on Method of Action.
Play the kerning game on type.method.ac: Kern Type (kerntype) to adjust letter spacing, score kerning accuracy, and practice typography.
What is the Kern Type kerning game?
Kern Type at type.method.ac is the kerning game from Method of Action—often searched as kerntype or type.method. You adjust letter spacing on display words until they match a professionally kerned reference, then receive a score out of 100. Rounds use real typefaces with designer credits after each word. It is a typography game focused on pairwise spacing (kern me pairs like AV, Ta, and Yo) rather than full paragraph tracking.
Kerning game tips for Kern Type
Use these habits to score higher on the kerning type game and carry spacing judgment into Figma or Illustrator.
- Fix problem pairs first: In this kerning game, diagonals next to straights (A-V, T-o) usually need the largest adjustments. Scan those kerning pairs before fine-tuning easy letters.
- Squint at the word silhouette: Blur your eyes to see light gaps and dark collisions. The kern type game scores optical balance, not mathematical equal spacing.
- Use Tab and arrow keys precisely: Tab selects the next letter; arrows move 1px and Shift+arrows move 10px. Small moves beat overshooting in later typography games rounds.
- Compare before you submit: Use the compare step to see reference kerning. Note whether you were tight or loose—patterns repeat across typefaces in the kerning game.
- Learn each typeface rhythm: Serif and sans rounds behave differently. Replay the same kern type game word after credits to internalize that face’s spacing logic.
- Practice display sizes only: Kern Type trains headline kerning. Pair sessions with /shape-type when you also want curve-level letterform practice.
