Be aware of point size

The size you set your font at will influence your kerning. In other words,
letters often appear to interact differently at various point sizes if you set a
headline at 48 pt., kern it, and then later need to change it to 24 pt., your
careful kerning work will likely be undone.
For that reason, its a good idea to kern after youve settled on the size of your
type. Or, if youre working on something like a logo that will appear in print at
one size on a business card and at another larger size on a t-shirt, kern those
separately. Keep in mind that any kerning mistakes (or neglecting to kern at
all) will be most glaring when youre working with large, highly
visible letters.

As a general rule of thumb, you can get away with tighter kerning at larger
sizes, but letters can look closer together at smaller sizes, so looser kerning
may be required. (More on this in the next tip.)
