20 Awesome Products Every Helvetica Lover Should Own

Helvetica is everywhere. It’s one of the most popular fonts in use today. You can find it adorning signs (especially city train systems), popular websites, and the world’s biggest brands. There are even documentaries that center around the history of the font. In this post, we’ve collected twenty products that Helvetica fans will love. Coffee mugs, t-shirts, iPhone cases, even perfume; no matter what you’re looking for, you can pretty much guarantee there’s a Helvetica-themed version.


1. Helvetica Mug


This mug compares the different styles of Helvetica with the different ways you can take your coffee. It’s great for the designer who loves their java as much as their font collection.

10. Limited Edition Helvetica Perfume


“A scent distilled down to only the purest and most essential elements to allow you, the content, to convey your message with the utmost clarity. Air. Water. You.” Translation: this product is a joke. It’s a really expensive bottle of water. As far as I can tell though, if you’re willing to drop + shipping, it can be yours.
