Helvetica Mug

September 26, 2007 Posted by Chris Tingom Filed under Coffee

Tomas just emailed this to me and I had to share it. For all of you font lovers, it has a double meaning.

Coffee, like Helvetica, is an acquired taste. To satisfy both habits, this white ceramic mug features four weights of the timeless font – in corresponding caffeinated shades – and a sensibly squared handle. Holds 15 ounces of your favorite beverage but, like the typeface that adorns it, has bottomless potential.

    That’s really cute. I like that! Personally, my coffee and helvetica both depend on my mood … in the morning I like either light or regular, at night I have to have it black. :)

    Oooh…I like that mug! I might have to buy one of those. It would be great to have on my desk, even if I’m not a designer.

    This is nice…

    I love the styling on the handle, it really matches the font. They should also make a rotaing 3d Screensaver of this mug.

    Nice,

    From one of my Twitter friends:
    “@brianshaler most definitely. I like my coffee like I like my helvetica. Light and hot.”
