The letter \u003cstrong\u003eD\u003c\/strong\u003e leads, followed by the numerals \u003cstrong\u003e990\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the two groups sit side by side with plenty of open yellow around them. Nothing competes with the text. The clean vector shapes and high contrast make the design read at a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn France, the D prefix identifies a road in the departmental network, the tier of routes managed at department level beneath the national highways. The number 990 marks this particular route within that system. The design therefore stands for the everyday infrastructure that connects French towns and regions, and it uses the modern, utilitarian language of French road signage to say so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy It Suits This Glass\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mixing glass is held in the hand and turned as the drink is stirred, so the artwork is seen in motion rather than from a distance. The lettering wraps the tapering body and reappears each time the glass is lifted. Because the glass is clear, the yellow and black sit against whatever is poured inside, so the plate reads differently with every drink.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"16oz","offer_id":53176780751128,"sku":"GMY-MIXI-RTDPR-16OZ-1FFTE","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/route-dpartementale-franaise-990-france-road-sign-pint-glass-16oz-GMY-MIXI-RTDPR-16OZ-1FFTE-front.webp?v=1794095897","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/route-dpartementale-franaise-990-france-road-sign-pint-glass-16oz","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
