I think the designer did not realize someone by the name of Wert was going to scrutinize his work!
By the way Robert, you might want to edit the title of this thread? It is Scott 198, not #1!

Design is an aesthetic enterprise. Symmetry and appeal to the ruler may not be the goal.

Wert if your going to worry about that you may also note the letters in POSTES are larger than those of POSTAGE.

I'd be more worried about some other things:

1. That ugly torn upper corner.
2. The color is supposed to be Ochre

(Just having fun ...)

Robert, just having fun! But really, have you ever considered trying to find out the what and the why? I mean, this difference is so obvious that even a blind man can see it. When this stamp was released did no one notice?
Seems to me that someone should have written an article about this at one time or another?

@hutin

If you're trying to be funny I could understand.

If you're serious then you're really rude.
