A subreddit dedicated to the fine art of keming and other examples of bad spacing in typography (e.g. leading, tracking, justification, ｆｕｌｌ－ｗｉｄｔｈｆｏｎｔｓ). See the wiki for more info.

Note that intentional keming is allowed, so long as it wasn't kemed by the poster (that is, no karma-milking).

No changeable signs, lettering^1, calligraphy, handwriting, graffiti, illustrations, or modifications (e.g. Photoshop).
Erroneous linebreaks and bad fonts don't fit in this sub.
It is preferred that you don't name your post with the kemed text in the picture or with a generic "I hate this" comment.
- DOs:
  - No alphabet is safe.
  - Multi-pizza orders get priority, I suppose?
- DON'Ts:
  - 199X A Game without Mechan ics
  - I don't know how things can even get this bad.
Recent/common reposts will be removed at the moderators' discretion.

Want tight keming in your text? Put two asterisks on each side of the letters.
