You can even see how some of the letters in Carlota are exactly the same as some of those in other words.
Maybe because, I don't know, they use a font? Do you think they pay some opie with a pen to write out everyones name in bold blocky letters all day for the identification cards?
The reason there's improper leading and vertical centering is because they use some kind of mechanical printing press similar to a woodblock printer or typewriter. The price of a proper ID card printer is about the same as their national GDP.
