I am willing to suck it but the kerning is still killing me. (I love everything about this btw)

The kerning deserves the criticism - I'm glad someone said it :)
Kerning is staggeringly difficult to do manually with stencils, and at the same time the imperfections show "touch" which is part of what makes TFA's work so appealing.
