A strange oddity I have come across when visiting the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the State of Arkansas is the lack of consistency with the fonts used in their flags. There could be more instances of flags with inconsistent fonts, but these two are the ones I'm aware of.
Arkansas's flag seems to be the more consistent of the two, with the of the flag having a font similar to Arial Bold, whereas the uses a font more akin to Impact.
The font on Kentucky's flag is inconsistent both digitally and physically. Sometimes it's a tall serif font, other times it's just a plain sans serif font.
Does anyone know why this is the case?
