Yeah letters, agree that gifuring out spatial relationships and determining legibility are sometimes at odds with eachother. Thus, a balance between the two must be struck...hence the subjective side of kerning.
23kon, in my experience reading opens up the pathways of my imagination like few other pastimes. It not only strengthens my ability to imagine pictures as opposed to having them spoon-fed to me by the almighty TV, but it has greatly enhanced my vocaabulary – thereby giving me greater ammo for discussing concepts, writing, and ultimately making me more desirable/marketable as a designer. Every non-reader I come across is very limited in their imagination and ability for intelligent discussion. There is little separating them from some of the furrier mammals.
