Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ampersand t-shirt?
An ampersand t-shirt (or "& tee") is a popular typography design where four related words are stacked vertically with ampersands (&) between them — for example "Coffee & Books & Rain & Blankets". The minimalist style has become a staple in gift shops, Etsy stores, and custom merch for weddings, teams, and friend groups.
Is the exported image print-ready?
Yes — the design exports at 3000×3000 pixels, which provides 300 DPI resolution at 10×10 inches. This meets the minimum quality requirement for most print-on-demand services (Printful, Teespring, Redbubble) and professional print shops. For best results, use high-contrast colors.
Can I use AI to generate the four words?
Yes — switch to AI mode, enter a theme like "Italian pasta", "90s cartoons", or "wedding party names" and the AI generates four contextually fitting words. You can then edit any of the generated words before exporting.
What does the design look like?
The design uses bold sans-serif typography — the classic ampersand tee style. Each name appears on its own line with "&" appended directly (no space), and the last name ends with a period. For example: "John&" / "Paul&" / "George&" / "Ringo." — clean, minimal, and instantly recognizable.
