The words \u003cem\u003eBrasil\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eestado\u003c\/em\u003e sit above the route number \u003cem\u003e260\u003c\/em\u003e, and the abbreviation \u003cem\u003ejct\u003c\/em\u003e closes the line, so the eye moves left to right in the order a driver would read a sign. The layout is balanced and unhurried, with the characters spaced so that the empty ground around them carries as much weight as the letterforms. No colour, border or illustration interrupts the type, which keeps the focus on the arrangement of the characters and the negative space between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach word does a specific job. \u003cem\u003eEstado\u003c\/em\u003e is Portuguese for \"state\", so the sign names a regional division of Brazil before it names a road. The number 260 identifies the route, and \u003cem\u003ejct\u003c\/em\u003e marks a junction, a point where roads meet and travellers must choose a direction. Together the phrase is a piece of wayfinding, reduced to its essentials. The design is a typographic celebration of that everyday language, the kind of information that is seen once at speed and rarely looked at closely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for the Mixing Glass\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mixing glass is a tall, curved vessel that is picked up, tilted and turned in the hand before every pour. The text here runs in a single, readable line, so it stays legible as the glass rotates, and the sign's crisp shapes hold their form as the surface curves around them. It makes a quiet, cheeky talking point for anyone who has ever navigated a Brazilian highway, or who simply enjoys a good bit of road-sign typography with their drink.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"16oz","offer_id":53127202701592,"sku":"GMY-MIXI-BRSSTD-16OZ-1FQAB","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/brasil-estado-260-jct-brazil-road-sign-pint-glass-16oz-GMY-MIXI-BRSSTD-16OZ-1FQAB-front.webp?v=1793672660","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/brasil-estado-260-jct-brazil-road-sign-pint-glass-16oz","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
