definition:
(n) a part of the face of type projecting beyond the body or shank, as in certain italic letters
translation:
It’s the spacing between letters which changes as the font size and style change
For Example…notice the spacing between the letters in the accompanying pic? Your computer does it automatically which doesn’t mean it’s always right. The human eye perceives spaces differently.

Why is this important? It’s not….unless you design newsletters, posters, signs, promotional materials etc. that you want to be visually pleasing (which I have sometimes come across in the world of marketing and PR. Sometimes.)
Or if, as in this case, you just want to be funny (it took me a second to get the joke but trust me, its clever)
