Its edited/manipulated in some way. The E's are all the same, even the bump on the bottom part is there for all of them.
Might be photoshop moreso than ai
Yeah, them all being the same is what makes me think person; when you look at those AI images with legible text, the text wiggles and is inconsistent when you compare something like one A to another A. But if you’re a person using linocut stamps or duplicating things in photoshop, letters will look the same.
There’s other little things too, like the knot in the wood that the paper dips into, that make me lean more towards ‘real but strange looking photo.’
I'd lean more towards real photo but photoshopped and the original text was something else
You can see the line artifacts around each repeated characters are the same despite the letters themselves being different sizes, so I'm leaning towards they just cut and scaled letters from the original text or something similar. You can see for example each T has a line artifact on the bottom left and each E has one on the top. Plus, if it was an irl letter stamp, they wouldnt have different sizes for the letters, at least not to this degree
I don’t know why people seem to forget about photoshop. Late night hosts were using photoshopped pictures in bits 30 years ago.
