One of the greatest stationery stores in the world is in Tokyo. In 1904, Itoya opened their store in the Ginza shopping district. From them come these graphite pencils commemorating the most influential typeface in modern history, Helvetica. Created in 1957 by Swiss designers Max Miedinger and Eduard Hoffmann, the Helvetica font stands alone at the top of graphic design and visual culture. An iconic design house acknowledging the greatness of design achieved elsewhere.
Pencils come with an HB lead, ferrule-free black eraser top and a round wood barrel painted in matte Red, Grey, White and Black. Pure functionality with simple and timeless design.
