London-based design imprint Horizon introduces its new and impressive Horizon Helvetica drawing tool that highlights an all-in-one function. It is described to be the "Swiss Army knife of sketching tools" and is designed to help draw perfect lines and circles.
It blends together the functions of a ruler, T-square, straightedges, stencils, compass, isometric grid, and a protractor into a compact shape that is singular and slim. It is made from stainless steel to ensure that it boasts durability. Notably, it measures out to be the size of a credit card, making it simple to carry around in a card older. It is made for the contemporary designer and also has measurements included for pixels and picas.
