Sans-Serif Font Tee: Love It or Leave It?

September 4, 2008

You can't get much geekier than being a font lover — and you know who you are. If you know what sans-serif means, you're definitely one, and you're probably inclined to love this Sans-Serif Type Tee from Target ($20).

Displayed on this shirt, you'll find "all your favorite sans-serif typefaces" — I gotta check this baby out in person to see if they have all mine! What do you think of it?

I am a big font geek but a sans serif shirt could be more stylish.

My boyfriend would love this! Too bad we're in the UK. I bought him a helvetica font t-shirt for his birthday though and he loved it. :)

From TARGET?!??! Simply amazing. The other day, an English friend of mine asked me to describe Target because her American friends won't stop raving about it. I was like "It's the happiest place on Earth."

hyzenthlay20- have you seen Mrs. Eaves? It is kind of old school with the most amazing set of ligatures! I used to work with a designer that was meticulous about his typography and I would spend hours kerning all of his type to perfection. He found Mrs. Eaves and not only did I then have to kern to perfection, I had to make sure I put in all the appropriate ligatures.

What about a serif font tee-shirt? I understand the need for sans-serif fonts, but I prefer the ones with serifs! :)

@Calamari: Should font jokes really be this funny?

@LittleRedRyan This shirt says "Helevetica" but is written in Cooper Black. http://137696.spreadshirt.com/us/US/Shop/?&design_id=2148592

I've seen a shirt that simply said "sans-serif" across the front but the text had serifs I laughed so hard at it. This shirt is pretty awesome though.

As much as fonts are a pain in my arse these days. I did have a love for them in my previous life in advertising, I'm in!
