Summary

The font-kerning CSS property controls the usage of the kerning information; that is, it controls how letters are spaced. The kerning information is stored in the font, and if the font is well-kerned, this feature allows spacing between characters to be very similar, whatever the characters are.

font-kerning: none;

/* Global values */
font-kerning: inherit;
font-kerning: initial;
font-kerning: unset;

Values

auto
This keyword defers to the browser regarding whether to use kerning. When the font size is small, font kerning may look strange and browsers will disable it. This is the default value.
normal
This keyword requires kerning to be applied.
none
This keyword prevents the browser from using the kerning information stored in the font.

Formal syntax

auto | normal | none

Examples

p {
  font-kerning: none;
}
