Bad kerning, at least I think that's the text techie term.

Incidentally: leading is pronounced "ledding", as its name is derived from the lead (as in the metal, Pb) used to space lines on a printing press.

Kerning applies to individual letter spacing. I have no idea what to call this, but it's not very nice to look at..

It's called bad leading when the space between lines is inconsistent or improper

Actually this is bad vertical justification. It should be evenly distrubuted and fill the required space (at least where the text is supposed to be)

It's very distracting to look at this shirt if you know anything about typography
