In the same vein, stop drawing dead butterflies

i will never see butterfly depictions the same again

Didn't see that coming. In retrospect, I should have noticed that a long time ago... Thanks for the info

Neat, the alive ones look way more similar to moths.

Interesting!

That bottom depiction really makes it obvious that butterflies never have their wings like that

Is kerning the spacing between letters?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

It's the visual spacing between letters, which usually involves some letters that have curves or corners to actually not strictly follow the spacing. For example the legs of the letter A might stick out a tiny bit in certain fonts. This gives text a more visually balanced kerning.

Between any typographical characters, but yeah, basically 🙂
