Kerning is the typographic term for the spacing between letters or characters in a piece of text to be printed.

Keming is what it looks like when you fuck up the kerning.

I've seen this font many times on Chinese products, often with this horrible kerning. I think it's a font designed for Chinese characters that does include Latin characters as well, but with them misaligned (e.g. the r has whitespace on the left and not on the right). I think this is a bad font rather than a bad kerning job done on top of it.
