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?

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

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. Why does this bother you?
