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!

I feel like Kidsor Kidults is a specific person who has wronged this manufacturer, and now the manufacturer won't let them anywhere near their products.

Probably a relative of Bill Posters, who has been dodging prosecution for decades

Well, I think "kidult" is a perfect term for those of us who are getting older, but are still young at heart. Kidults of the world, unite!

A combination of a kerning/spacing fail (the main topic of this post) and a typo, I think. If I'm wrong and it's meant to be a different word, would love to know.

Is kidult like man child but gender neutral? That's how I'm going to use it from now on anyway.

Seems like the manufacturer has something against kidults from Kidsor. So anyone in the cusp of the kid and adult category of that region should avoid this product.
