Blackletter Neue | Customizable Short-Sleeve Tee
Customize this shirt with the abstract shapes — aka the characters — of this refined, contemporary blackletter typeface, a style that traces back to the middle ages. The unconventional letterforms occasionally supersede readability to create inherently unique, wearable design that's personalized. With up to 3 characters of your choosing, the possibilities are endless — and the designs on this page are just examples.
- Could it be a modern-day monogram? A representation of your ‘brand’?
- A personalized gift?
- 1-, 2-, or 3-letter expression you identify with?
HOW IT WORKS
When you click the CUSTOMIZE SHIRT button above, a new window will open to help you make a variety of choices, displaying them in real time (as an approximation). Then, Type Wear creates/refines the graphic — before it is sent to our fulfillment partner — to achieve optimal scale, placement, and character spacing on the shirt. The images on this page reflect a much more accurate representation of how your shirt(s) will arrive.
- Select shirt color and shirt size.
- Enter your text and choose color: SOLID or GRADIENT — not both.
- GRIT or NO GRIT? By default, your graphic will be printed in flat color(s), but you have the option to add a distressed effect, with a gritty texture. The side-by-side comparison of the swatches below illustrate the difference, as do the various sample shirts on this page.

- Solid colors are 100% ring-spun cotton
- Sport Grey is 90% ring-spun cotton, 10% polyester
- Dark Heather is 65% polyester, 35% cotton
- Pre-shrunk for extra durability
- Regular fit
Graphics are printed with water-based, vegan inks — non-hazardous, toxin-free, biodegradable, and certified with an OEKO-TEX Eco Passport.
