Here is one for you typologists out there. Take a look at the T in The (British Library) and you will notice that the left hand bar at the top is shorter than the right hand side. Mistake, bodge up or just plain willful design?
Me? I think its a cock up, look at the gap between the left hand top serif of the T and the edge of the stone and compare it with serifs to the right hand side H and Y with the edge of the stone..... Its smaller
After long thought, I think it's deliberate. It pulls in the left side, preventing the T from handing over the left and spoiling the blocking look of the whole. I wouldn't have noticed had you not mentioned it.
