This is likely built into the font. It is called kerning (which is similar but distinct from letter spacing) and is used to visually balance type. For more information as to how it helps visually balance type, see this post. You can find some common kerning pairs in this post.

The exact spacing (or "tightness" as you call it) varies depending on the given font depending on the purposes and appearance by the creator. It also might vary depending on the design (in posters and such) because it an be edited further in usage apart from editing the font file.

Kerning can be built into fonts by using good font tools like FontForge or can be done with an existing font using a good editor tool (like Adobe products).
