The state of hipster typography

"The state of hipster typography" was the title of an entry on the blog MetaFilter today and though the blog doesn't refer to the font of the t-shirt below, it did make me think about the t-shirt I saw today while walking through the campus of an area university. I wasn't able to snap a proper shot with my camera phone at the time, so I came home and found a similar shirt at CafePress (there were MANY to choose from).

I'm hoping irony hasn't gotten the best of us. Spelling out the word "Darfur" in pink rounded letters on a pink t-shirt just seems typographically irresponsible.

Great post. I'm doing a post about the psychology of typeface tomorrow and I'll link to your site.
