28.10.2025 00:27 โ ๐ 69 ๐ 33 ๐ฌ 5 ๐ 2Sometimes, letterering for manga means working in tandem with the Japanese SFX instead of rewriting them!
In CLAMP Premium Collection Tokyo Babylon, Vol. 7, letterer @kernedout.bsky.social skillfully blends the English "ZWOOSH" text with it's Japanese counterpart for a seamless reading experience!
today's my birthday and it would mean a lot if you could share my portfolio๐๐ i hope i can letter more manga in the next year!

Our next piece of lettering comes from @meerkatotter.bsky.social!
Not only does Madeleine flawlessly recreate the translated English text into 3D blocks, but they also have the text interacting with Mifuyu as well!

Vol 2 of GAEA-TIMA the Gigantis, a manga I'm lettering, is out! KENT-sensei's art is amazing, big thanks to my editor @tnagano411.bsky.social for letting me be part of it!
Most SFX here are fonts in InDesign, but I tried matching the original as best I can.
And saw a review mention me! So grateful ๐ฅน

Nate does a great job here showing that kerning is positioning relative to the prior letter. These letters move closer together, but the cursor still appears at the right boundary of the left letter. If you make the bounding box too wide and rely only on kerning, your cursor gets inaccurate.
