Chop Shop’s ‘Helbotica’ Shirt

I’m in your RSS reader serving a vital dose of typography-design-geek-links.

The T-shirt is aptly called “Helbotica” because it employs a mildly popular font you may know as Helvetica. Toronto based designer Jonathan Yule produced this gem, along with a few others as part of a series of illustrations based on his favorite sans-serif fonts.

I saw these shirts in person at NYCC (@ the Chop Shop booth) over the weekend and they looked pretty awesome next to their fantastic weRobot shirts I already wrote about.  Personally this is a must have, but I just spent my free cash on graphic novels.  Damn you, Umbrella Academy.

About Tim Quirino: Tim founded Geekadelphia with Eric Smith in 2007. Now a multimedia designer @ QVC & Creative Director @ Big Red Tank, he writes from time to time but mostly just administrates and designs for the blog. By night, he romps around Northern Liberties. When not bowling, designing, or eating a ton of food, he can be found with his amazing girlfriend or hanging out with his pet rabbit. When she's not in town, he plays a lot of video games, and pretends to be a rock star in his underwear.

    I walked past these at the Con and went “Ooooh Robots. I want one”, but didn’t actually stop and look at how freaking cool it is. I must have one. I heart fonts AND robots.
