This is an example of "bad typography" because there is poor kerning bewteen the two "L"s. The text from a distance might appear as Camil lo's to someone who is not familar with the Kutztown area. The poor kerning is a result of the font that was chosen. This problem cannot be fixed by decreasing the space between the two "L"s because the two characters would touch, thus creating a ligature, and make the name illegible. The only solution to this problem would be to choose a different yet similar font.
