Day 287 - Typography and kerning: the roof of the new bus station in Amsterdam

The Central Station in Amsterdam is under construction.

One of the largest projects is building of a new roof on the bus station that is situated the train station. The roof is made of glass and it is decorated with the word 'AMSTERDAM'. The letters are mad of colored glass (orange and red).

Yesterday I read an article about this roof on Typographica. The article describes a few worrisome facts, such as the fact that the spacing between the first A and M is 5 windows, whereas the space between the final A and M is only 4 windows...

Want tk know more about it? Read the article here or take the train or bus to Amsterdam to see it with your own eyes.

Anyway, I like this roof and do not mind abut the kerning...
