The term "keming" is sometimes used informally to refer to poor kerning (the letters ''r'' and ''n'' placed too closely together being easily mistaken for the letter ''m''). The related term '' kern'' denotes a part of a typed letter that overhangs the edge of the Movable type, type block. Metal typesetting The source of the word ''kern'' is from the French word , meaning "projecting angle, quill of a pen". The French term originated from the Latin , , meaning "hinge".
