Controlling kerning
Kerning is the adjustment of space between character pairs. Because of their
shapes, certain character pairs look better when kerned. You can use automatic
kerning, and you can also use manual kerning controls to specify additional
kerning between characters.

increases the amount of space between characters; a negative value decreases
it.
