{"product_id":"sp-495-brazil-road-sign-pint-glass-16oz","title":"SP-495 (Brazil) (Road Sign) Pint Glass 16oz","description":"\u003ch1\u003eSP-495 (Brazil) (Road Sign) Pint Glass 16oz\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSP-495 takes its subject from a road sign, and that single idea of a route marked out in Brazil is what the design is built around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVisual Elements \u0026amp; Composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design is organised around its name. The letters \u003cstrong\u003eSP\u003c\/strong\u003e and the numerals \u003cstrong\u003e495\u003c\/strong\u003e sit at the centre of the composition as the main typographic statement, with the word \u003cstrong\u003eBrazil\u003c\/strong\u003e anchoring the identity of the piece. Nothing competes with that lettering. The layout is plain and direct, so the eye reads the code first and the country second, the way a driver reads a sign at speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Brazil, the \u003cstrong\u003eSP\u003c\/strong\u003e prefix marks a highway in the state of São Paulo, the most populous state in the country and its industrial heart. Brazilian federal and state roads are numbered in this way, so a code like SP-495 works as an address for a specific stretch of road rather than a decorative flourish. The design honours that system of travel and place, the sense that a country is understood through the routes that connect its towns and regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDesigned for the Mixing Glass\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mixing glass is a tall, curved vessel that lives in the hand, tipped and turned with every pour. The lettering wraps around that curve as you lift it, so the code and the country read in pieces as the glass moves, much as a road sign reveals itself as you approach. It makes a good conversation starter for anyone who has ever driven a long road and wondered where it leads, and it suits a gift for a traveller, a Brazil enthusiast, or someone who collects things with a story behind them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"16oz","offer_id":53132810748184,"sku":"GMY-MIXI-SP495-16OZ","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/sp-495-brazil-road-sign-pint-glass-16oz-GMY-MIXI-SP495-16OZ-front.webp?v=1793719726","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/sp-495-brazil-road-sign-pint-glass-16oz","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
