I Was Told There Would Be Ghosts tee features a humorous typewriter-style text message, perfect for witty Halloween wearers and deadpan humor fans.
The story behind this design
This design is pure text—a simple, nostalgic typewriter font arranged in three lines reading 'i was told there would be ghosts.' The lowercase letters and monospace style evoke vintage typewriter aesthetics, giving the phrase a matter-of-fact, slightly comedic tone. There's no illustration, no graphics, just the words. The charm lies in the implied deadpan humor: the wearer is showing up to Halloween or a spooky event and discovering fewer ghosts than promised. The typographic execution feels intentional and retro, like a found note or vintage document. It's minimal, clever, and lets the wearer's sense of humor do the heavy lifting.
Who it's for
People with a dry, witty sense of humor and appreciation for minimalist design will gravitate here. It suits literature lovers, graphic design enthusiasts, and anyone who prefers clever text-based humor over imagery. Perfect gift for the friend who loves a good deadpan joke, anyone attending a Halloween event with low expectations, or graphic design-minded folks who value restraint and smart execution. Ideal for layering, costume accents, or anyone who uses clothing to signal intelligence and irony.
