Letterspaced.
Letterspaced was another theme chosen by our friends and buyers. The shirt's theme is rife with meaning beyond the typographic term it delivers.

Chosen by our buyers from among a variety of themes exploring kerning, tracking and letterspacing, our Well Kerned tee is set in Neuzit S Book Heavy and printed in white on an American Apparel fine cotton black tee or tank.
Great ideas can't be tested. Only mediocre ideas can be tested.TypographyShop is honored to present the first theme in our new line: The Ten Commandments of George Lois.From his groundbreaking work at Doyle Dane Bernbach to his controversial Esquire covers to "I want my MTV," George Lois has carved a career sans equal in the advertising industry.If today's young designers, art directors and copywriters ever needed a savior in the form of a living mentor, it would be George, famous for saying "Advertising is not a science, advertising is an art, no questions about it."George chose this design from among our treatments. Set in Franklin Gothic No. 2, designed by Morris Fuller Benton in 1902 and News Gothic, a related 1908 Benton creation .A portion of the proceeds from sales of this shirt will benefit the Herschel Levit scholarship fund at Pratt Institute, Mr. Lois' alma mater.
Helvetica Neue Descending a t-shirtIn 2008 I launched TypographyShop to great acclaim in the design community. 2 years later we've sold shirts to fellow practitioners in 23 countries. Many a famous designer and many more not so famous ones have purchased our wares. As a designer, nothing could be more flattering.Helvetica Neue Descending a t-shirt was our first release. Helvetica Neue explained for the layman. In weights descending from Ultra Black 95 to Ultra Light 25, Max Miedinger's redesign of his own 1957 classic has never been so fashionable.

- Make the Logo Smaller.We held a friends and buyer's poll last year to determine which shirt we would release next. Make the Logo Smaller was the hands down winner. I was quite pleased with that as I also run a political t-shirt company. This has become one of our best sellers. The thought that designers are wearing these to meetings with the account execs and clients pleases me to no end.
