Over 50 Typographic Tees

Let’s just ignore how long it’s been since I posted here, shall we? Ahem.

I’ve never really understood collecting – the feverish desire to have more, preferrably all of a particular thing – well, it’s always seemed a little bit soft-brained to me.

Then I looked in my drawers.

I have to admit it: I’m a little soft-brained too. I own so many nicely designed t-shirts, I could easily wear a fresh one every day for over three weeks without doing laundry. And as a designer, I’m more than a little in love with typography. Typographic t-shirts are like upperbody heaven to me. Maybe that’s something I should seek professional help with, or perhaps you understand?

So here’s my monster have/want list of typographic tees. Enjoy, and be sure to share your own favourites down in the comments.

Typefaces

Shirts not only set in, but also about particular fonts. No surprise: Helvetica wins the most love, hate, and love to hate.

Ampersands

Everybody’s favourite funky typographic symbol, the ampersand’s become quite a popular subject for shirts. In case you were wondering, according to Wikipedia the ampersand is a logogram representing the conjunction “and”. The symbol is a ligature of the letters in et, Latin for “and”.
