Printed text: Optimism. Direct-to-garment print on the front chest, two lines of block capitals, second line always red. First line white on the black and navy shirts, black on the white shirt. Plain back.

One word, in letters that are having a good day. Optimism. One word on your chest in friendly rounded letters, for the days you want to carry it and the days you want to hand it out. Printed on a Stanley/Stella Creator 2.0 unisex tee: 100% GOTS-certified organic ring-spun cotton, 180 g/m² midweight jersey, regular fit, made to last. Black or navy with the word in white, or white with the word in black. Part of the Mantra Merch series of mantra t-shirts. Unisex sizes S to 5XL (EU sizing); printed to order and shipped from the US or Europe.

Fabric and fit

Stanley/Stella Creator 2.0 unisex organic t-shirt. 100% organic ring-spun cotton, GOTS certified, 180 g/m² (5.3 oz) midweight single jersey, 1x1 rib collar, double-needle hems.

GOTS means the cotton is certified organic from the field to the finished shirt, including the dyes and the factories. 180 g/m² is a midweight fabric: noticeably thicker than the 150 g/m² of a typical promotional tee, still light enough for summer.

Regular unisex fit, set-in sleeves, medium length. European sizing runs about one size smaller than US sizing: between sizes or want it relaxed, size up.

The story

This one started with a t-shirt in a video. The shirt made a joke, but the lettering is what stuck: round, a little crooked, the kind of letters that look like they are having a good day. We wanted one word that deserved that font. Optimism is not the belief that things will work out by themselves. It is the decision to start as if they might, which is the only way anything gets started at all. So the word is set in letters that smile, printed big enough that the person across from you reads it before you have said a thing.

About this mantra

Optimism is the quietest mantra in the series and the only one set in a rounded, playful typeface. It is not a claim that everything is fine. It is a choice about where to look first. People wear it to the office on a Monday, to a waiting room, to the kitchen table of a friend who needs it more than they do.

Made for people who decide to expect the best on purpose, especially on the days it takes effort.

Questions

Why a different font than the other mantras?

The other five are set in a condensed poster typeface because they are instructions. Optimism is a mood, so it gets a rounded, hand-lettered display face (Boogaloo). One print colour: white on black and navy, black on white.

Which colours does it come in?

Black and navy with the word in white, and white with the word in black. All three are the same Stanley/Stella organic cotton tee. The print is direct-to-garment, so it is part of the fabric rather than a plastic layer on top.
