Type Workshop - Kerning

I thought it was an interesting task when we played around and understood more about kerning, because some letters automatically don't sit right next to others, so it was up to us to try and change it for the better. Lower case letters don't look as bad, and my name below has hardly been altered. I just brought the 'y' closer and separated the 'f's' so that they all sat at a similar distance to each other.










However, upper case letters cause more problems and the gaps look more uneven and obvious. Some pairs don't fit next to each other well, such as the L and A below.
