Leading, Kerning and Type Anatomy

IMG_1394

This was my first attempt at kerning and leading.  I believe that I failed in terms of leading.  At the time, I was still trying to grasp the concept.  The word “groon” is far too close to “zoingz.”  This gives it a clustered feeling, making it much more difficult to read.  If I had moved “groon” down further, it would be much more understandable.  In terms of kerning, I think I did a decent job for my first time.  The “g” in “groon” needs to be moved the the left a bit.  In “zoingz” the “o” should be moved to the right along with the “z.”  The “g” and final “z” need to be moved to the right.
