Kerning Pairs & Proofing String Generator

Meticulous spacing is the foundation of any professional typeface. This kerning pairs generator is a streamlined workflow tool designed specifically for type designers to instantly generate optical proofing strings for testing left and right sidebearings.
Whether you are evaluating the optical rhythm of basic Latin, balancing complex Greek accents, or managing metrics for Cyrillic and Extended Latin sets, this tool eliminates the need for manual string typing. It generates standard ABA rhythm strings tailored for immediate use in professional font editors like Glyphs.

How to Use the Generator:
Define Sets: Use the buttons to instantly inject predefined character sets (Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Numbers, Punctuation) into your Control (Set 1) and Test (Set 2) fields.
Set Rhythm Structure: Toggle between continuous (ABAACA) or spaced (ABA ACA) rhythms depending on your current metric evaluation phase.
Export: Click generate and use the one-click clipboard copy to paste the formatted strings directly into your Glyphs edit view.
