humankind hiccups 😅 The way this German bakery writes their S.

Post image

Is this a common way to write S for Germans?

UPDATE: I reached out to the bakery, it's in a large US city, it was opened in 2011 and owned by a couple who immigrated from Germany many years ago. The sign was written by one of their workers who is not German, and does their community outreach/participation in Farmer's markets. This was the first time it was brought to their attention. Looks to be innocent, but not well thought out.

There is no coincidence, one does not live in the western world and not understand what that font with 'SS' means.
