HALFCURVE Y2K RELOADED 2026
"Don't look for clothes that define you. Look for clothes that understand you."
Okay, let's be honest. You're tired of seeing the same basic t-shirts from Zara, the same graphics from Urban Outfitters that everyone wears. And I don't blame you.
In 2021, two designers fed up with the same old sh*t decided to create something different. Halfcurve wasn't born in a corporate office or from a marketing brainstorming session. It was born from two people, Jairo and Laura, who after three years of studying fashion said "damn it, let's make the t-shirts we'd actually want to wear."
And here we are. Designs inspired by Y2K video games, retrofuturistic dystopias, and declassified military manuals. All made in the Czech Republic. All 100% cotton. All designed for people who don't want to blend into the background.
If you like what you see, all our t-shirts are here. And if not, at least you take away some visual inspiration.
The Penitency Collection has 4 designs in total. See all 4 here.
PENITENCY COLLECTION
Do you remember those "BIOHAZARD" signs in 2000s apocalyptic movies? That clinical and dystopian aesthetic that told you "something very f*cked up happened here"?
Well, that. But on a t-shirt.
The Penitency Collection takes warning symbols, worn-out technical text, and corrupt file aesthetics to create something that feels like it was taken from a low-budget cyberpunk movie (the good kind). There are 4 designs, each more unsettling than the last.
BIOHAZARD
The original design. The one that started it all. Biohazard symbols superimposed with worn technical typography. As if someone scanned an abandoned lab manual in 2003.

ASPHYXIA
This is about that feeling of suffocation. Asphyxiating typography, visual glitches, that moment when the system collapses and only errors remain. For days when you feel everything is too much.

GAME OVER COLLECTION
If you grew up playing war simulators on your 2003 PC, this collection is going to hit hard.
These aren't pro-military graphics. They are graphics about how an entire generation learned about conflict through pixelated screens. About how we normalized violence by playing generals from our bedrooms.
Uncomfortable nostalgia, basically. And it works. 4 designs mixing old video game HUDs, military typography, and that dark retrofuturism we like so much.
GOD SIMULATOR
Playing god from a keyboard. Controlling armies with clicks. This shirt asks: who really holds the power when everything is an interface?

III WAR SIMULATOR
The third iteration. Like those video game sequels you never asked for but end up buying. Military-tech typography with strategic glitches.
VIEW WAR SIMULATORThe Fear Data Sheet Collection has 4 designs in total. See all 4 here.
FEAR DATA SHEET
This collection is for the technical manual geeks. Those who stare at weapon specs on Wikipedia. Those who find beauty in tactical diagrams.
Fear Data Sheet turns military documentation into minimalist art. No emotional context, just cold data presented as if they were museum technical sheets. It's disturbing. It's elegant. And it works surprisingly well as a t-shirt.
4 designs based on iconic weapons, presented as declassified specification sheets.
LUGER
The most iconic pistol in history turned into a technical sheet. Clean schematics, exact measurements, military archive typography. As if someone printed a secret document on your shirt.

GRENADE
Grenade specifications presented as a minimalist infographic. All destructive power reduced to lines, numbers, and geometry. Beauty in the disturbing.

THE STORY OF HALFCURVE (JAIRO & LAURA)
Halfcurve isn't a corporate brand with investors behind it. It's Jairo and Laura, two designers who met studying fashion and decided they'd rather create their own stuff than work for others.
In 2021, with more excitement than budget, they launched the first collection. No advertising. No paid influencers. Just t-shirts they'd want to wear themselves, shared on Instagram and trusting that someone else would get it.
And it worked. Little by little they found their people: designers, illustrators, developers, people from the alternative scene who were tired of the same generic tees. People who understood the references to old video games, Y2K aesthetic, that weird nostalgia for the 2000s.
Everything is made in the Czech Republic. 100% cotton. Unisex fit. Available in black and white because sometimes less is more. And every design comes from real design sessions where Jairo and Laura argue about fonts, visual references, and if something "looks too edgy" (spoiler: it never is).
It's not perfect. It's indie. It's authentic. And it's ours.

QUESTIONS YOU ASK US
Our in-house t-shirt brand. Jairo and Laura created it in 2021 because they wanted to design t-shirts inspired by Y2K, techwear, and digital culture that they couldn't find anywhere else. Everything is made in the Czech Republic with 100% cotton.
Three main collections: Penitency (dystopian bio-hazard aesthetic), Game Over (retrofuturistic war simulators), and Fear Data Sheet (military manuals as art). Each collection has 4 distinct designs.
Because they don't come from TikTok trends or what Shein is selling this month. They are born from real references to video games, digital culture, and retrofuturistic aesthetics. Plus, you won't see them on everyone because we don't produce thousands of units.
Yes. Classic regular fit that works for everyone. 100% cotton. Available in black and white. If you're doubting between two sizes, we usually recommend the larger one for that oversized look that fits so well.
The golden rule: if the shirt is the statement, the rest should be simple. Basic black pants, cargo pants, dark jeans. Let the design speak. Pair them with black cargo pants for techwear vibes, or add an oversized jacket if it's cold. That's it.
