The shield sits centred with a vertical rectangle that narrows to a pointed, curved base, and a double outline frames the whole mark. The letters \u003cstrong\u003eBR\u003c\/strong\u003e sit above the numerals \u003cstrong\u003e158\u003c\/strong\u003e, set in a plain, blocky typeface. A small amount of grey appears as a subtle edge tone. There is no ornament, no background scene and no decorative flourish: every line is there to be read.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBR-158 is a federal highway designation in Brazil, and the shield is the country's own route marker system at work. Route shields like this one tell drivers which road they are on, so the design carries the language of travel, navigation and the long stretches of road that connect Brazilian towns and regions. Its minimalism is part of the point: stripped of scenery, the sign becomes a pure emblem of the road itself and of the geography it threads through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for the Coffee Break\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA road shield is built to be read in a glance, and a mug is held in the same way: lifted, turned and looked at across the table before the first sip. The strong white figures stay legible as the cup rotates in your hands, and the wrap of the handle gives the sign a natural place to sit. For a traveller's morning, or for anyone who has ever followed a route number home, this is a cup that keeps the journey in view.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53182873501976,"sku":"GMY-MUG-BR158-11OZ-4","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53182873534744,"sku":"GMY-MUG-BR158-15OZ-1FRT5","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/br-158-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-BR158-11OZ-4-front.webp?v=1794196774","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/br-158-brazil-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
