"In general, I don’t like types that are too smoothly spaced. Mashed potatoes, sure, but not creamed."

Goodness gracious! Do you mean this for text fonts? Are you saying that some kerning "mistakes" make it better or easier to read? This is new to me. If you have some more thoughts, or some examples in one direction or the other, I would appreciate hearing about it.

Even thought I put this in the technique and theory category, what I am interested in is finding text fonts good to read for extensive reading.
