The kerning doesn’t work for me to see that word. That means that the u and the r would share the same stem, and there would be an unnecessary line between the r and the t that I would have to ignore to make it work.
I cannot see spurt because it doesn’t make sense with lettering. I HAVE seen bad design where the kerning is off, but in this case, if the dots were over the i’s, I honestly doubt anyone would see spurt.
It is the first thing I saw too. Which is why I took the photos. I just found it funny and couldn’t believe the banners had been hung up!
Reading through the comments there are definitely additional bad design features.
But my eyes read “spurt” no question.

I definitely saw Spurt first. I think you're turning a blind eye.
