How hip you should be to wear a T-shirt with a joke which works only when you tell how your shirt design is named?

  How even hip’ER to know what it’s called before you see someone wearing it?! wow

Living in a non-western world country has the benefit of not ever having to encounter people wearing “font-shirts”.

  Why does this bother you? I don’t think this classifies as hipster style. It is more geek style than anything else. Fonts comprise both technology and culture. I really don’t see much of a difference from this shirt design versus a shirt design that features a caffeine molecule. And if it is a Western worldview that thinks that featuring technology and culture on a shirt is appealing, then I’d be willing to embrace that.

    A geek would be knowledgeable about typefaces while still dressing normally. You’d have to be a typeface nerd to want to wear a shirt exclaiming how much you love typefaces.

  You couldn’t have a tee shirt with kufic written in kufic and naskhi written in naskhi?

    Shame on you for tricking me into a 2-hour wikipedia dive.
    
    But I did discover I like naskhi, and they would make a great shirt design.
    
    I do have to ask though, did you think my hoodie was a hijab?

Amazing. Somehow, Shanalogic manages to sell shirts cut for the male form and the female form, while charging the same amount for each! Hooray for gender equity!
