Apparently, there are other fonts out there that people get typographical boners for other than Helvetica, and I guess that Univers is one of those fonts. I know nothing about fonts, so here’s my take on Unviers; it looks really dynamic, so I’d imagine that if this font were able to deliver packages it would do it quickly and efficiently. See, I told you I know nothing about fonts.

Hey, is this the first time I’ve ever posted a tank top? (it is available as a tee as well though)

The Progresswear team are taking a short break from trying to raise political awareness through t-shirts and instead have turned to one of their other loves, typography. I don’t really understand why it is that typography seems to be ‘cool’ at the moment, I guess it makes sense to see niche tees celebrating certain typefaces, but I even saw pirated versions of Helvetica The Movie being sold in Hong Kong, madness!

I suppose that if you ‘get’ this design then you’ll like it, but if not then you probably won’t be bothered with it so I’m not going to try and persuade you either way. I do think that I’d enjoy this design more if the numbers were bigger though, since I always think of Helvetica as a font that deserves to be seen large. In keeping with Progresswear’s standards, just as they give proceeds of political tee sales to political charities, a portion of the sales of this tee are going to design education programmes.
