Reagan

It's hard to nail down a single font as the t-shirt font of the 1980s. T-shirt wearers of the opulent eighties were hungry; hungry for a fanciness only a font called Pretorian could provide. Pretorian: a late seventies Victorian revival which spread across the low-end design world like a chichi wildfire. Pretorian's flowery flame burned brightly for a solid decade. If you're looking for a vintage t-shirt font which truly embodies the spirit of the eighties, Reagan is it.
