all the glyphs have widths that are multiples of a stripe, and as you can see (up toot) there are 6 extra stripes required in the 2nd row to fill the gap. I designed in the font for U+200A HAIR SPACE, U+2009 THIN SPACE, U+2008 PUNCTUATION SPACE to be 1-,2-,3-stripes wide. They can be used to center the text. With a U+2008 on each side (1st image).
For social media posts, it's a bit tight, and needs a bit of extra padding. So i add another U+200A either side.

So for my new Rainbow Rocket font, @iorsh asks a question that i was intending to address, which is basically, how come the words in "AUTUMN LEAVES" are centered? Why, in fact, doesn't it look like the picture on the right?
The answer is thinner Unicode spaces. It's why i published a blog on spaces: https://home.octetfont.com/blog/unicode-space.html
