Hi, I'm wondering if there is a way to optically align left-flush characters without having to use the space before and negative kern trick.
In the below image you'll notice I've already enabled optical margin alignment but the E still sits very far from the edge of the frame.
Normally from my experience this also has to do with the font itself. You can try changing the title to use Optical Kerning as opposed to Metrics Kerning (if not already done) and see if that helps.
Otherwise because the Optical Margin Alignment point size is only set to 12pts (because that is most likely your body font) InDesign may simply not work the way you want it to for the large Title font, and you will need to manually kern it.
Large titles anyway are often manually kerned as it is more important typographically to have just the right spacing between letters for a title.
