Spacing Desk
Learn to distinguish measured distance from visual rhythm.
Pair spacing
Letter pairs with identical measured gaps can still feel different because their shapes create different white spaces. Learners compare pairs and adjust by eye.
Join position
A word may feel crowded because the exit stroke enters the next letter too high or too low. Exercises separate join placement from actual spacing.
Letter-width effects
Overly wide forms can make neighbouring gaps appear small. Learners test whether correcting the letter itself solves the rhythm before changing spacing.
Short word rhythm
Words contain one deliberately unstable interval. Learners identify the problem, write a revised version and explain what changed.
Line rhythm
Later exercises combine several words and ask whether inconsistent baseline or slant is creating a false spacing problem.
