Better Make Mine Decaf

This tribute to Helvetica makes me laugh every time I see it. Raise a mug to your overcaffeinated typographer friend. If you don't have an overcaffeinated typographer friend, consider yourself lucky. They're really no fun to have around. Especially when they insist on calling out the typeface on every piece of signage they pass by. Wanna know how annoying that is? Ask Christine, 'cause Pete does it all the time. She likes to call it "Font Tourette's".

Now if we could just find this mug in Hobo....

  1. Yes! Tekton would be great, too. Gotta put chai in that mug. Comic Sans wouldn't be bad either.

  2. Why name it DUCKPIN PRESS?

  3. The name came from the love we share for duckpin bowling. Many duckpin lanes are closing shop, but there is a small, dedicated core that keeps the sport alive. Kinda like letterpress.

  4. Does your wife know you were having a helvetica of a time without her?
