PUSH AND PULL. Colons and semicolons need additional space preceding them and less space following them. Exclamation points and question marks often benefit from being separated from their sentences by an extra bit of space. A full word space is too much, as is half a word space; but 20/100 of an em (set-em), or +20 tracking, is usually sufficient.

AVOID A SERIOUS CRASH. The content within parentheses and brackets usually will benefit from additional space to separate it from these marks, especially italic forms with ascenders that are likely to crash into the marks if left at the default spacing. In particular, lower-case italic f, l, k, h, and many of the uppercase letters will need this adjustment.
