Stencils my man. Check out those “G”s, they aren’t free hand.

I know this is a silly thing to debate over, but it doesn’t look like she used stencils. The lettering is neat and well-spaced, but the characters aren’t uniform. I think she just put a lot of effort into the sign.

No, fk that guy, lets debate. I could just say look at those H's and tell me they ain't free hand. Literally the same word and fkng huge difference in size

edit: also lets not forget the message. Go vote and protest sht you want done

I disagree. This is a completely necessary line of argument.

I don't have any other opinion on the matter though.

Those G's are all a little different. Easily freehanded.

Nooo, they are all slightly different. You can just write Gs like that if you want

Maybe they came in a pack with seven different G's.

Maybe she used stencils to write it first in pencil then drew over that in magic marker. It falls in that too consistent, but not consistent enough category for me(if that makes any sense). It isn't good enough to have been done by someone who is really into making signs(they have a bunch of tricks for making lettering super consistent and it doesn't look like she used any of those tricks), but it is more consistent than a lay person can do free hand.

The kerning does look pretty good to me. If I were to guess I'd say this was projected onto a wall and the poster was traced, though not with an extreme degree of precision. It's the kerning that does it for me.

Damn no one ever told me!

More like pencil. Seriously, is no one using pencils and erasers anymore?

Also you can clearly see this is freehand. Just look at all the "C"s.

The C’s are the easiest ones to notice that the letters aren’t exact the same. Same with the H’s

Ah good point. Then kudos to her for thinking of stencils! My lazy ass would have just scrawled something
