Connecticut Highway 118 (Connecticut) (Road Sign) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie showcases a design directly inspired by the official road signs of Connecticut Route 118. The artwork faithfully replicates the state's standard highway marker design, immediately recognizable to anyone familiar with the roads of Litchfield County and the surrounding areas.
Visual Elements
The design features a square shape, a cornerstone of Connecticut's road signage. The background is a clean, crisp white, providing a stark contrast that allows the black elements to stand out clearly. A thin, black outline defines the perimeter, giving the design a defined structure.
At the top of the design, the word "CONNECTICUT" is displayed in small uppercase letters. This signifies the state that the highway serves, grounding the design in its geographical context. Centered below, the large black numerals "118" boldly identify the specific route.
The font used is FHWA Series Gothic (Highway Gothic), the standard typeface for road signs throughout the state. This font choice ensures the design’s authenticity and readability, echoing the signs that guide travelers along Route 118.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design of this hoodie embodies a sense of place and connection. It visually represents the journey through Litchfield County, connecting the wearer with the rolling countryside, historic villages, and the essence of the route itself. It’s a tribute to the road’s practical function, and to the experience of driving along the 8.6-mile stretch of Connecticut Route 118. This simple design is a powerful symbol of navigation, location, and the spirit of exploration.
