Check kerning of fonts with »WAVES«

This time only a small tip. To get a quick overview about a font’s kerning, you can use the word WAVES. If there are large not-so-nice large spaces between letter pairs, like for Crimson Text in the screenshot above, you maybe should search for an alternative font.

I found the tip in the chargeable typography checklist from Typewolf – but, for example, they also use the word in a thread on typedrawers.com.
