hannes,

if you wash the AA shirts in cold water and hang dry they won’t shrink!

Yea I am curious about that

Yea I am curious about that XXL too. I see American Apparel boxes. That stuff shrinks a lot when you wash it the first time...

I think David should receive a tee in trade for entertaining passersby with oral diatribes about the greatness of Typophile.

Unfortunately our vendor

Unfortunately our vendor only takes cash. If we need to get creative with payment methods I’m sure we can work something out. =)

So...does this mean we pay

So...does this mean we pay for our t-shirts with bananas?

The making of the 2007 Typophile Tee

The shirts are on press at Ape Do Good.

The 2007 "Type Specimen" tee was designed by Christian Robertson, a longtime Typophile member and moderator who joined Punchcut in 2004. Christian designed the popular typefaces Dear Sarah and Pill Gothic. The "Type Specimen" tee takes its cues from 1923 ATF type specimen books. Rather than finding a historical looking typeface for the design, Christian drew an American gothic inspired typeface from scratch. The shirt will be available on August 1 to attendees of TypeCon, Seattle. It will then be made available for purchase from Typophile.com.

Read more after the bump... Here's a little tease before we can show you the final...
Proprietor Anthony prepares to show us the wares.

The American Apparel tees in men's "army" and women's "olive" arrived on schedule.

A quick tease of the proof. Not the final layout, nor the final color. The ink is a new eco-friendly "water-based" process that actually strips away pigment in the tee. The result is a very soft feel (no thick layer of ink) and a more subtle look. It also allows for some killer overprinting effects.

More pics and purchase info to come!
