Its characters are centred and arranged in a single sequence, so the eye reads straight across from the country name to the state, then to the route number and the junction marker. Nothing competes with the lettering. The layout is plain and horizontal, the way a road sign tells you where you are and where you are heading, with the numerals carrying as much visual weight as the words.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach element does a job in the message. \"Brasil\" names the country, \"estado\" is the Portuguese word for state, and \"210\" is the identifier that places the road within that state. \"Jct\" marks a junction, a point where routes meet and a traveller must choose a direction. Together the string describes a place by its position in a network of roads, a way of identifying location that belongs to regional navigation. The design is a reproduction of this type of Brazilian road-sign lettering, presented as an artwork about identification and direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDesigned for Hands and Conversation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pint glass is held at the waist and turned as it is drunk, so the lettering wraps a tall, curving surface and reads in pieces as the glass moves. The sign's sequence works in that rhythm: the country appears first, then the state, then the junction, each one coming into view as the glass is lifted. It is a good match for a conversation about travel, where someone is always asking where a place is and how to get there.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"16oz","offer_id":53128487469336,"sku":"GMY-MIXI-BRSSTD-16OZ-1FQ8X","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/brasil-estado-210-jct-brazil-road-sign-pint-glass-16oz-GMY-MIXI-BRSSTD-16OZ-1FQ8X-front.webp?v=1793679093","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/brasil-estado-210-jct-brazil-road-sign-pint-glass-16oz","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
