About this design
SP-904
SP-904 (Brazil) (Road Sign) Black Coffee Mug
This design reproduces a São Paulo state highway route marker, numbered SP-904, drawn as a clean piece of roadside signage.
Visual Elements & Composition
A pentagon dominates the composition, with a thinner inner pentagon outline set within it to frame the route marker like a traffic sign. The field is mostly white, with black carrying the shapes and lettering, and light grey appears only in small accents. The letters "SP" sit above the numerals "904," and the flat vector treatment keeps every edge crisp and graphic. Nothing decorative intrudes, so the sign reads at a glance.
Meaning & Symbolism
SP is the prefix for São Paulo state, and the route number tells drivers which road they are on. Brazilian state highways use the pentagon as their marker, so the shape itself identifies the road network. The design takes a utilitarian object of everyday travel and presents it as a piece of regional identity. Its modern, minimal style suits the series-based catalogue it belongs to, where each SP number stands for a distinct road and a distinct place.
Reading the Black Mug
A road sign is built to be read from a distance, but a mug is read up close, turned slowly in the hand while the coffee cools. The pentagon's single bold outline wraps the body of the cup as one clear mark, and the numerals stay legible as the mug is lifted. Each morning the route number comes up with the first sip, a cheeky reminder that every good drive starts with a proper brew. Give it to someone who has driven the SP highways, and the number itself does the talking.

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.
- Daily use: fill with your preferred brew and sip — the mug handles hot liquids safely.
- Office-friendly: fits most standard mug warmers and sits securely on communal trays and kitchen counters.
- 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.
