ABOUT

YinYangFit [Sebastian Kosch]

Sebastian Kosch is running a project, financially backed by Google, to develop a letterfitting program which produces satisfactory results. The source code, as it presently exists, is published at Github. Kosch intends to produce a piece of font software which can take an unkerned font file as input and produce good spacing and kerning values for it. On the project's website, Kosch talks about shortcomings of the existing methods, and divulges a bit about his cognitive science based approach.
