Unisex with a relaxed cut, true to size, S to 4XL. Garment-dyed heavyweight tee.

Still kerning by hand. The gap between two letters is a judgment call made by eye, and the type designer in the tee nudges an A next to a V until it sits right and cannot always explain why, which is the part no generator has ever cared about. A small brag disguised as a complaint. This tee is the brag, four words, for anyone who still sets type like it matters.

Wear it to the studio, the design conference, the client kickoff, the type walk, and the family dinner where a relative asks what kerning is. It is a warm gift for a type designer, a book designer, a sign painter, and the friend who notices the bad gap on every sign.

The tee is a Comfort Colors 1717, garment-dyed in 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton, soft and evenly colored, with a heavier hand than a novelty tee and four words that read across a design studio on deadline. Direct-to-garment. It bonds with the cotton.

Unisex, relaxed, true to size. S through 4XL. Colors: Black, White, Bay, Blossom. Also Chambray, Graphite, Ivory, Banana. It is the A-next-to-V entry on our anti-AI movement page.

Designed and printed to order in the USA. Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Tumble dry low. Do not bleach or iron the design.

Common questions

What is kerning? The adjustment of space between two specific letters so a word reads evenly. Done by eye, by a person.

Would a design studio order these for the team? Studios do. Every shirt is printed to order. Any mix of sizes, one order.

Which color do designers pick? Black by a wide margin. Ivory for the conference.

How does the 1717 fit? True to size, relaxed body. Order your usual.

Wear it to: the all-hands where they announce the new tool, the studio, the classroom, the town meeting about the data center.

Fabric and fit

Comfort Colors 1717: 6.1 oz 100 percent ring-spun cotton, garment-dyed and soft-washed so it feels broken in from the first wear. Relaxed unisex fit, true to size, S to 4XL in eight colors. Double-needle stitching, no side seams, sewn-in label.

Measurements for every size are on the size and fit guide.

Printing and care

Printed to order in the USA, direct to garment: water-based ink goes into the fabric rather than sitting on top, so the print stays soft and does not crack or peel.

Machine wash cold, inside out. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron the print. More on the fabric and care page.
