The adjustment of space between individual characters in a font to achieve a visually pleasing and readable result. It involves reducing or increasing the space between specific letter pairs, such as "VA" or "To", to improve their appearance. This process differs from tracking, which adjusts the spacing uniformly across a range of characters.
