Capital Letter Kerning?

[RussellAult]

I'm not a font expert, and I'm not sure if this is an intentional design choice, but the kerning between some capitals letters looks a little...odd to my eyes?

For example, here's the word "DANGER" in LibreOffice Draw using Work Sans ExtraBold at 130pt:

As compared to the spacing between the "D" & "A" and the "N", "G", & "E", the "E" and "R" are closer, and the "A" and "N" are so close they're touching.

Here's the same word in the same font, but I've added extra space after the A and the E:

(My adjustments weren't very precise and now the "D" could probably be a bit closer to the "A", but the rest of the letters look a lot more evenly spaced, at least to my eyes.)

Am I totally out to lunch?
