It seems to be okay in the Regular weight, but are definitely off for the other 3. It's these kinds of things that drive me bonkers. I recently went through months of trying out fonts for a brand, and the font ultimately chosen has a very similar issue. The font contains so many ligatures that get replaced automatically when certain character combinations are used, yet the basic spacing between letters is odd.

To me, the kerning issues are fine if you remember that this is meant to mimic a wooden sign carved with a router. For a typeface on a screen, it's all wrong but it does reflect the original use quite well.

There’s kerning issues in the capitals too, try “WAVE” or “HILLTOP”

Yes, that certainly was surprising.

You are right, the space between the T and e definitely look off. And I typed in "Testing" without recalling what kerning meant.
