I wasn’t at TypeCon in Seattle this year, but at least my typeface was. Above is this year’s Linotype shirt for the conference, which I did not have a hand in making. The text “city of TYPE,” as well as some of the skyline elements, is set in Morris Sans. Hopefully, a few prominent Seattle landmarks are visible in the design. The letters however, are clearly more important, especially that big “TYPE” ;)

The Seattle design isn’t the first Linotype t-shirt with this sort of motif. There are also similar examples from New York and Dubai. Above is a photo of the NYC “type and the city” example, from TypeCon 2005.

We also put three typefaces into this year’s SoTA Type Gallery, one of which was Morris Sans. I didn’t make the specimen shown above, but I quite like it!

    Hi Da,
    kann man das Shirt auch käuflich erwerben wenn man nicht auf der TypeCon sein wird?

    Hallo Peter! Ich weiß nicht, wie die Distribution auf der TypeCon eigentlich gehandelt war. Ich weiß auch noch nicht, ob wir welche übrig haben. Aber ich werde jetzt nachfragen! Welche Größe trägst du?
