About this design

ES-264 ES-060 e ES-124

ES-264 ES-060 e ES-124 (Brazil) (Road Sign) Black Coffee Mug

This is a flat, typographic take on a Brazilian route marker, built around three road numbers set inside pentagonal sign outlines.

Visual Elements & Composition

White dominates the design, covering roughly seventy per cent of the field, with black taking up about a quarter and small grey accents filling the rest. The black sits in crisp double-outlined pentagons, the shape that marks numbered routes on the road, and each sign carries its code in bold, evenly spaced letters and numerals: ES, 264, 124, with a partly hidden third sign reading ES 360 or something close to it. Nothing competes with the codes. The layout is structured and uncluttered, and the eye moves across the signs in sequence, the way a driver reads them from the verge.

Meaning & Symbolism

Route markers are the quiet grammar of a road network. A pentagon with a two-letter state code and a number tells you where you are and where the road leads, and this design lifts that vocabulary into a neutral, modern graphic. The ES prefix refers to Espírito Santo, one of Brazil's states, and the numbers name its highways. The result is a regional nod to Brazilian transport signage, rendered with the calm precision of a signage system rather than a souvenir.

Cradled in the Hand

A mug is turned slowly in the hand, so the three signs travel around the curve one after another, never all at once. Each pentagon comes into view as the cup rotates, like a sequence of road markers passed on a long drive. The black and white contrast reads clearly from across a table, and the codes stay legible at the moment you lift the cup to drink.

When you order it

Glossy black ceramic mugs in two practical sizes — 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml). Comfortable C-handle, microwave- and dishwasher-safe, and manufactured to be lead- and BPA-free. Note: printed blacks may read slightly different from the mug’s base color.

These mugs are made from solid ceramic with a glossy glaze that gives a deep, even surface for printing. Sublimation printing embeds ink into the glaze so artwork sits smoothly on the mug rather than simply sitting on top — that means better resistance to fading and scratching during normal use.

They’re available in the classic 11-ounce size for everyday black coffee and tea, and a larger 15-ounce cup if you like extra room for milk, foam or a long pour. The C-shaped handle is wide enough for a secure grip and balances the mug well when full.

  • Material: 100% ceramic with a high-gloss finish for punchy, saturated results.
  • Sizes: 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml) — choose your routine size.
  • Printing: sublimation process fuses color into the glaze for durable imagery.
  • Safety: lead- and BPA-free; meets common food-contact safety standards.
  • Design note: very dark artwork and the mug’s black base can produce subtle shade differences — add a thin lighter outline to ensure contrast if needed.

These mugs are at home in the kitchen, on the office desk, or tucked into a morning routine. They work for espresso shots, pour-overs, oat-milk lattes — you name it. The larger size is handy when you want a second cup’s worth without a refill.

  1. Daily use: fill with your preferred brew and sip — the mug handles hot liquids safely.
  2. Office-friendly: fits most standard mug warmers and sits securely on communal trays and kitchen counters.
  3. Gifting: packs well (wrap with a soft layer) and pairs nicely with coffee beans, tea tins, or a small box of biscuits.

Practical tip: for very dark designs, try a thin light border or a small margin so the artwork reads cleanly against the black ceramic.

These mugs are both microwave- and dishwasher-safe, but gentle habits extend the life of the print. We recommend dishwasher use on the top rack and milder cycles when possible.

Hand-washing is the friendliest option: warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft sponge. Avoid steel wool, harsh scouring pads, or blasting with extremely hot industrial cycles. And a quick reminder — don’t microwave an empty mug.

Two sizes: 11 oz (approx. 330 ml) and 15 oz (approx. 440 ml). The smaller cup is the familiar, everyday size; the larger one is for fuller pours and extra-creamy drinks.

Each mug’s mouth and height are proportioned so they’re easy to drink from and easy to clean. If you’re pairing with saucers or nesting in cabinets, expect the 15 oz to be slightly wider and taller than the 11 oz.
