"The game looks like something you’d expect to come out of the famous Bauhaus design movement" - iPhoneGames Network.com
“I instantly fell head over heels for this game...A super smart concept for a game which fellow designers in particular will adore.” - TheAppleBlog.com
“A wonderful game for a wonderful platform. For the love of type, download it.” - CreativeApplications.net
Space, The Final Font Tier. KERN is a minimalist typography experience challenging you to precisely place a missing letter into a falling word while avoiding any unnecessary ligatures! Practice and prove your typographical acumen with a score that gives new meaning to point-size!
HOW TO PLAY: A random type-centric word with a missing letter appears at a variable point size. As the leading begins to shrink, you navigate the missing letter to the proper space and release its handle to lock it in place. The placement accuracy is measured and your score is calculated based on the size of the type, the leading height, and the perfection of placement—all measured in points. If you miss by too much and form an unnecessary ligature, one of your five ligature tokens will be lost. Lose all five ligatures and your game is finished. How many points will you Kern?
KERN is one in a series of design-oriented games from FORMation, a U.S. graphic design studio. Look for these other these titles in the App Store:
EYE VS. EYE // Prove Your Eye for Color A friendly color-matching duel that pits you against an opponent in a duel to the decimal!
PRESS CHECK // On your marks, get set, Print! A designer ode to the old-school art of print plate alignment re-imagined as a challenge of speed and accuracy. 2009 Jason Franzen / FORMation

Don't waste your money This game is pretty but has nothing to do with challenging your type skills or helping improve them... Again, don't waste your money...

Still in My Top 5 It won't turn anyone into a kerning ninja, but so what? It's a simple, artful, and quietly satisfying game for those who don't necessarily dig gunning down zombies.
I installed KERN shortly after it came out, and it is still on my iPhone and still in my top 5 (written 9/17/09). Many other apps have come and gone while KERN remains.
All it needs is a more extensive hi-score list or leaderboard.

Continually crashes. Will not stay on... Might be able to play one level or whatever then crashes, that is when I can actually get out of the menu...

Cool graphics, but shallow. The graphics are simple but cool, but there is 0 depth. You shoot letters into predetermined spaces. Requires no thought whatsoever. But for a buck, its mildly entertaining.

More like Tetris, less like kerning. Don't be confused, this is nothing like kerning letters. Yes, I have to kern letters often, and this is even less tactile than option-arrowing your favorite typefaces, and there is no satisfaction from "kerning" these words. Ugh.
