  • Cristoforo t-​shirt orders!

    Cristoforo t-​shirt thumbnails. These are double-​sided so A1 is the front and A2 is the back for a single t-​shirt design, etc. Relative sizes of front vs back elements are not necessarily to scale. (click for 2.5 MB PDF)

    T-​shirts promoting my new Kickstarter-​funded typeface Cristoforo are now available! There are six different t-​shirt designs available, many full-​color and double-​sided! For my Kickstarter backers at $77+, your t-​shirt was included in your pledge. For backers at lower levels and other readers who see and like the t-​shirts, see below for costs and payment instructions. I do not expect to print these shirts again, so this may be your only chance!

    To order your shirt:

    – Download the PDF (Cristoforo t-​shirt designs, 2.5 MB) for a high-​quality reference on the different designs. Background colors are carefully matched to the shirt colors now.

    – use my shirt order form on SurveyMonkey

    If you have not pre-​paid as a $77+ backer, you can still order a shirt! Or you can add shirts. See below. Note that most of these are double-​sided and involve full-​color images.

    The window for orders will remain open until I have all the required backers’ orders in hand (maybe May 21?). The order form will just stop working when I cut it off, and I will update this post as well.

  • Cristoforo promo draft t-shirts

    I’ve been having higher-​level backers of my Kickstarter for the Cristoforo typeface vote on t-​shirt designs the show off and promote the fonts, my revival of Hermann Ihlenburg’s Columbus (1892) and American Italic (1902). I will be printing several of the most popular designs for my backers.

    Most of the votes are in, so I have finalized designs for the four most popular options so far. I am just waiting a couple of days to tally any straggling votes and maybe tweak the designs a tiny bit.

    Shirt A
    A) Front based on a design by Andrea Leksen, featuring art by Steve Kick.

    Shirt B
    B) Front design by me, with art by Steve Kick. Back design by Andrea Leksen.

    Shirt C glyphs on winterberry
    C) Design by Andrea Leksen.

    Shirt D glyphs on ash
    D) From the design by Andrea Leksen (colors changed for light shirt).
