Being positive towards anything can be difficult, especially in 2021. However, it's forever a great idea to bathe your brain with some good thoughts once in a while. It's not a secret – our world has been through a lot, and society can be particularly toxic, which is why it's important to put love above everything. Everyone deserves respect and appreciation... except for whoever was responsible for creating these kerning fails.

Jokes aside, the spacing between individual letters plays a crucial role in general – but especially when you're designing a project for print. Without kerning, things can end up looking a little rough and will most likely completely change the meaning of the text.

By all means, it's not ideal when it happens, but it will probably make someone laugh. These Reddit users decided to share character spacing disasters that they noticed on posters, clothes etc. The subreddit was created in 2012 and currently has 248K members. Here we've gathered some of the best ones!

It says 'ten ants only'. So the restriction applies if it's 9 or less as well.

    Even though I'm reading it as "Noink," somehow I'm still inferring the negative and I'm irrationally disappointed - even though I don't know what a Noink is, it sounds like something I want and it's frustrating that the sign is banning it. (I think I'm reading the n & o twice subconsciously. The blue ink makes it stand out like a seperate word, but because there's no spacing before the 'ink' my eyes go back to the beginning of the line to work out what the word is. Hence, reading it as 'No Noink" :( )

    I am on my third reading and still I can only decipher "downtown". Ok, fourth reading and I got it. Am I dyslexic or was the "layout artist" having a psychotic episode? I never even saw the white text until my fifth reading. Adobe should not be so lax in selling their software.

    If the the A and R in STARW were switched, it would be STRAW, and the you just need to remove the S from ARST and put it at the beginning of ORE. Then you have STRAW ART SORE.
