Negative Kerning

[fififi]

Hi, I couldn't find any information on this topic in the forum. Is it possible to use negative kerning parameters when formatting a font? Currently, I can only use positive parameters, which limits my design options significantly. :( I have a screenshot attached. Thanks for your help!

Yeah that’s a limitation of the editor unfortunately.

That dropdown only allows predefined positive values, so you won’t be able to set negative letter spacing from there. It’s kinda restrictive if you’re trying to tighten typography.

If you really need negative kerning, you’ll have to do it via custom CSS, something like:

letter-spacing: -0.02em;

and apply it to that text block/class.

So yeah, not possible directly in the UI, only through CSS workaround
