In the same vein, stop drawing dead butterflies

Damnit, I'm going to see this everywhere now, aren't I?

Is kerning the spacing between letters?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Between any typographical characters, but yeah, basically 🙂

It's the visual spacing between letters, which usually involves some letters that have curves or corners to actually not strictly follow the spacing. For example the legs of the letter A might stick out a tiny bit in certain fonts. This gives text a more visually balanced kerning.

Interesting!

That bottom depiction really makes it obvious that butterflies never have their wings like that

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 month ago

I can't wait to ruin this for every single person I know going forward. Thanks!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

Oh wow, thats very interesting!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Didn't see that coming. In retrospect, I should have noticed that a long time ago... Thanks for the info

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

i will never see butterfly depictions the same again

Neat, the alive ones look way more similar to moths.
