A Typographic Grudge
Well, I just recently moved my office and family out to Fort Worth (Fowert Wuth to the natives). My brother-in-law flew down to Tampa to help me with the drive back and we decided to take in some sights along the way.
We stopped in Mobile, Alabama to see the USS Alabama. I highly recommend your stopping there if you are passing through. Most people want to get a long road trip over with as fast as they can, but if we don't stop and smell the History, we'll miss some really cool things.
Anyway, I like taking photos of typography in all its forms, so I was happily snapping placcards on the ship when I came across this little ditty. That's a very suspect choice of line-break there. There are leagues of room on the last line to fit all of "Japanese Navy", maybe even enough to do it twice. So why break it at Jap?
Maybe the curators are harboring more than the battleship.
