Letterforms drawn rather than typed
Setting your name in a licensed font gives you something anyone can reproduce. Drawing the letters gives you something ownable. We draw wordmarks and lettering, and we also sort out the unglamorous part: which fonts you are actually licensed to use, and where.

Typography & Custom Lettering questions
Almost never. Custom lettering for the logo plus a well-licensed typeface family for everything else gives you distinctiveness at a fraction of the cost of commissioning a typeface.
Yes, they are open licensed for commercial use including web and print. The licensing problems usually come from desktop fonts bundled with software, which often exclude web embedding.
It is the spacing between specific letter pairs. In body text it barely matters; in a logo set at large size, poor kerning is the single most visible sign of amateur work.
Often bought alongside this
Buying two or three together is cheaper than ordering them separately, and the work stays consistent because it never leaves the same team.
