Horizon Helvetica® Max Kickstarter Campaign

posted by POP Members September 2, 2024

After a successful campaign last year which saw the launch of the Horizon Helvetica, the Swiss army knife of stationery, the team at Horizon Ruler are back with the Horizon Helvetica Max which has an even greater measurement capacity! Not just a small stainless steel ruler, the Horizon Helvetica Max is at the forefront of design and usability, with smart features including Pixel-Pica ruler, inch-cm ruler, protractor, compass, quick circles, and isometric grid. This advanced sketching tool pairs perfectly with the credit card-sized Horizon Helvetica to deliver stylish functionality. Compact, portable, and easy to use, they feature the timeless Helvetica font – ready anywhere, anytime.

The Horizon Helvetica Max was designed by Ufuk Koc of Horizon Ruler, taking inspiration from the iconic Helvetica typeface which has made an immense contribution to global design culture. Helvetica’s clean and minimalist design is synonymous with precision and clarity, values that resonate with the ruler’s users. The widely used sans-serif typeface was developed in Switzerland in 1957, and has been used worldwide across thousands of logos and brands, from Nestlé and BMW, to Lufthansa and Microsoft.

Boasting 12 versatile features, Horizon Helvetica Max is any designer’s personal sidekick, with a small portable design its flexibility allows for the capture of creativity at any moment. Made with precision using a Swiss-made Bystronic laser cutter, no sharp edges, and bold and clear markings, whether you’re a designer at your desk, remotely working from a cafe, or sketching on the train, the Horizon Helvetica Max is discreet yet dependable, perfectly fitting in an A5 notebook. Its features include: 4 straightedges that measure up to 6 inches and 15 cm, along with 800 pixels and 32 pica for digital measurements; Imperial and Metric Compass for precise circular drawings; Set Square and T-square for ensuring right angles and straight, parallel lines; Protractor of 180 degrees with holes at every 10 degrees, plus 45 and 135 degree marks; and Quick Circles in various sizes (1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 3/16 inches | 3, 5, 6, 10mm) with additional circles with points for pentagons and hexagons. It really is the Swiss Army knife of stationery, eliminating the need to carry multiple tools.
