We print
in the desert
of good taste.
Heavyweight, ring-spun, unisex cotton. Water-based inks. Small runs, printed when we feel like it. When a design sells out we usually let it stay gone — a wrong font is funniest the first time.
The manifesto
A font is a tone of voice. "Resist" in a heavy gothic means one thing. "Resist" in a curly, flower-strewn wedding script means something far funnier — and somehow truer.
WrongFonts started in 2018 as a small experiment: take a phrase that's sincere, smug, sweet, or staggeringly dumb, and set it in the one typeface that has absolutely no business being near it. "Sunset" as a military stencil. "Old Fashioned" in glowing neon. "Pee Pee" like it costs $200 an ounce.
The kerning is correct. The leading is correct. The decision is the joke. Each shirt is a tiny argument between what a sentence says and how it's dressed — and the outfit always wins.

We start with something worth saying. Or at least worth printing.
Then we betray it with the least appropriate typeface available.
People will read it twice. The second read is where it lands.
Go on. Dress a sentence badly.
