I climbed the tower of the Nieuwe Kerk in Delft and saw this funky and oddly gorgeous degraded lettering

@amalie I agree it’s gorgeous, but what makes you think it’s degraded?

@veryrobin they didn’t originally look like that but more like the letters below. If you zoom in you can see that the letters have similar but unique degradations. I’m not sure what caused it to weather like that however.

@amalie I’d need to see something closer-up than this to understand what would have happened. To me this looks like a signpainter having a rollicking time in the studio.
