Glossary K

Keystroke

The action of depressing an only one key on a keyboard.

k height

The distance from the baseline to the pinnacle of the tallest lowercase ascender, sometimes this process is known as the k ascender.

In some typefaces the H height is smaller than the k height.

kp height

Kp height is the distance from the top of the tallest lowercase ascender to the base of the lowest descender.

The kp height is usually 5 to 10 percent less than the size of the calculated type sample.

If caps are taller than ascenders, however, as in some scripts, a divide value may be used, such as the Hp height or Ep height.

Kerning

Kerning is the process of physical or repeated regulation of the spacing of definite combinations (as in VA or TA) in a wording, in order to get better letter fit.

Usually, kerning characters were those which overhung their own width: in many typefaces, the Roman "f" has a kern to the right, the Roman "j" a kern to the left.
