Is it? It looks the same to me when I flip my phone. Perhaps it looks off because it’s in a bolder or newer set, like the B and some other letters. Or maybe it’s AI and every detail is random.
It’s the same either way. It looks wrong because we expect the bottom to be bigger than the top in that font. Since the bottom and top are the same, it feels top heavy.
Take an I, set it immediately against the side of another I. Do that again with your other pair of Is and set them immediately atop the first pair. You now have a new I built from four Is in the same proportions. If it’s too big, scale it down or use smaller Is as components.
I can’t tell if you’re joking, but the one in “believed” now seems off and the one in “life” definitely seems right. I can’t quite tell about the other two, especially with how weird the I in “if” is generally.
I’ve had to put letters on signs like this before. You don’t get equal numbers of every letter, less-frequent letters have fewer. And if they get broken or stolen or blow away or something, that can seriously limit you. So you figure out ways to make up for it, like flipping M upside-down for W.
I’m just posting because I noticed that the W in “your whole life” is an upside down M. Goddamn typomania got me again!
Did you notice the S is upside-down?

Or maybe that was a joke about the ‘S’ being the same either way
It’s actually upside down though

I guess that makes sense
Did you notice that two of the four-letter “I”s are upside down as well?
How do you spell “I” with four letters?

They have definitely mixed together different sets of letters.

Unfortunately, while I feel some compassion for the sign setter, this doesn’t help me. What I have seen cannot be unseen.
I believed that W was a W my whole life
