Looks fake, the big letters are on varying angles. Spacing is also off.

Why would evidence of bad design prove that a badly designed poster is "fake"? Looks like cricut creativity to me.

Because text does not magically get rotated or shifted around. Everything else, all the small text, is perfectly aligned etc.

I see you've never used a cricut. The small words would have been cut as a word and the large letters would get cut separately. You lift the words off the cut sticker and place them with transparent transfer tape. It's difficult to get it placed perfectly and you really only get one shot. They made mistakes in the beginning and got better.

You assume it was printed, I'm guessing it was built.

Good point, I did not think about that! The kind of faults I had to deal with on big signs were all spelling mistakes etc. and not from manufacturing.

Probably though it's difficult to tell what material the sign is made from at this resolution. Still, slightly amusing.
