One other problem I have with those numerals, is that the thick and thin strokes on the "V" aren't consistent. At first I thought, a-ha! Here's the problem, the printing negatives for the V VI and VII got flopped in prepress. Then I came to my senses and remembered that this is 2021 and no one strips negs for prepress anymore, it's all digital.

Which makes it even more confusing as to how they got this so very very wrong.

Are the Chinese effing with us? Having a laugh at our expense?
