I have a friend who’s a bit of a typography nut, and this is the kind of tee I think he’d appreciate. It sort of reminds me of those shirts I see that say “MONDAY” on them or another day of the week. It’s so obvious it’s funny. They put “Helvetica” on the back too, near the neck, like it’s a skateboard logo or something.
I came across these on Graniph. The have a few other shirts where their description mentions the “bold Helvetica typeface.” I think these guys have the hots for the font and probably wear this shirt themselves.
If you view the site in Japanese, this shirt is only 2,100 Yen, which is something like $19.62. If you view the site in English, it’s $28. Hmm. I’m sort of wondering where they ship from. Once you take the foreign currency transaction fee into account (that your credit card company will charge you) I’m wondering if it isn’t cheaper to buy in Yen.
