Knockoff Robert Indiana LOVE t-shirt reading LUST?

February 15, 2010 5:58 AM

Does anyone know where to get a knockoff Robert Indiana LOVE t-shirt reading LUST?

On my way to work, bemoaning the fact that I can't get a Raveonettes LUST LUST LUST t-shirt, I've realized that there's gotta be a LOVE sculpture knockoff which reads LUST. Anyone know where?

If not, does anyone know a free typeface matching the one used in the sculpture?

Internets tell me that it was most likely Clarendon Black used as a starting point.

I don't know about its licensing, but here is a site that has it as a free download.

I'm not a designer, but here's a stab. As you can see, it needs a bit of finessing to get the weights similar. Might read well enough, who knows.

Best answer: :) Here's the PSD with them as vector shapes (I combined the S ant T to get rid of some aliasing). Should be able to scale to whatever size you need.
