Last year, the folks at Horizon Ruler designed what I believed to be the ‘Swiss Army Knife’ of stationery and sketching. The Horizon Helvetica® Max expands on its predecessor’s credit card-shaped design, bringing even more functionality into a timeless-yet-future-forward compact form.
Designed as the ultimate creative companion, this slim stainless steel tool is built with precision and versatility in mind. It’s crafted for those who demand both portability and performance, seamlessly integrating into a designer’s workflow. Horizon Helvetica® Max might look and feel like a slim ruler, but on the contrary, it’s a compact, comprehensive toolkit that fits comfortably in any A5 notebook, enabling creators to draw, measure, and design on the go without compromising precision.
Designer: Ufuk Koc of Horizon Ruler

The design of the Horizon Helvetica® Max is inspired by the iconic Helvetica typeface, a choice that’s as much about cultural resonance as it is about form and function. Helvetica holds legendary status in the font world, being the only font to have an exhibition at MoMA and also having its own documentary by design-driven documentarian Gary Hustwit. In public life, Helvetica can be found in the fonts of brands like Nestlé, Lufthansa, and BMW (among Microsoft and Apple using it in interfaces in the past too). The Helvetica typeface’s clean, minimalist design is synonymous with precision and clarity, values that resonate with the intended users of this tool. Meanwhile, text on the Horizon Helvetica® Max is written in the Bold Helvetica Neue typeface too, making it easily visible. Additionally, the cuts are made using a Swiss-made Bystronic cutter, ensuring precision and sharpness. The markings remain clear and legible even after prolonged use.

Sketching with Horizon Helvetica® Max will eliminate a lot of headache in graphic editor tool.
Horizon Helvetica® Max features precise points in circles that allow you to easily draw hexagons, rectangles, and heptagons.
The attention to detail in the Horizon Helvetica® Max is striking. This tool is engineered from high-grade 304 Stainless steel and measures up to 6 inches (15 cm) with both inch and centimeter markings on either side, ensuring easy conversions. It also includes a protractor, compass, and a T-square—features typically found in larger drafting tools—condensed into a slim format. For those working in digital design, the inclusion of pixel and pica measurement scales is a thoughtful addition. These features help users align their physical sketches with digital specifications, bridging the gap between traditional and modern design practices.
What sets Horizon Helvetica® Max apart is its isometric grid and cube sections, which streamline the process of creating precise three-dimensional drawings. Whether you’re sketching out architectural layouts or conceptual product designs, the grid allows for accurate isometric drawing, saving time and reducing guesswork. Alternatively, you can use the Horizon Helvetica® Max to sketch in perspective too, simply by drawing a horizon along with the vanishing points on it, and using the scale to make a series of projecting lines as guides. The tool also offers quick circle guides, making it simple to draw consistent circular shapes of various sizes, from 3 mm to 10 mm in diameter. Each of these functions is accessible within a single, compact device, reflecting the Horizon Team’s commitment to efficiency and practicality.
Color Range
The Horizon Helvetica® Max’s practicality extends beyond its core functions. With no sharp edges, it’s TSA-approved for travel, making it a perfect companion for designers on the move. Whether you’re working in an office, sketching during a commute, or fine-tuning a design at a café, this tool is designed to be discreet yet dependable. The compact design is small enough to fit right into even a tiny A5 notebook, making it hyper-portable and easy to whip out when inspiration strikes. Plus, by merging multiple tools into one, the Horizon Helvetica® Max reduces the clutter and inconvenience of carrying multiple items, offering a streamlined solution for everyday creative challenges… across both digital and analog workflows. Available in 6 colors, the Horizon Helvetica® Max ships globally. You can even grab the smaller Horizon Helvetica® from last year to add to your art/design arsenal.

Google has reached a deal with California lawmakers to fund local news in the state after previously protesting a proposed law that would have required it to pay media outlets. Under the terms of the deal, Google will commit tens of millions of dollars to a fund supporting local news as well as an AI “accelerator program” in the state.
The agreement ends a months-long dispute between lawmakers and Google over the California Journalism Preservation Act, a bill that would have required Google, Meta and other large platforms to pay California publishers in exchange for linking to their websites. Google strongly opposed the measure, which was similar to laws passed in Canada and Australia.
Earlier this year, Google began a “short-term test” in the state that removed links to local news for some users in California. The company also halted some of its own spending on local news in the state.
Now, under the new agreement, Google will direct “at least $55 million” to “a nonprofit public charity housed at UC Berkeley’s journalism school,” Politico reports. The university will distribute the fund, which also includes “at least $70 million” from the state of California. Google will also “commit $50 million over five years to unspecified ‘existing journalism programs.’”
The agreement also includes funding for a “National AI Innovation Accelerator.” Details of that program are unclear, but Cal Matters reports that Google will dedicate “at least $17.5 million” to the effort, which will fund AI experiments for local businesses and other organizations, including newsrooms. That aspect of the deal, which is so far unique to Google's agreement in California, could end up being more controversial as it could exacerbate existing tensions between publishers and AI companies.
In a statement, Alphabet’s President of Global Affairs, Kent Walker, credited the “thoughtful leadership” of California Governor Gavin Newsom and other state officials in reaching the agreement. “California lawmakers have worked with the tech and news sectors to develop a collaborative framework to accelerate AI innovation and support local and national businesses and nonprofit organizations,” he said. “This public-private partnership builds on our long history of working with journalism and the local news ecosystem in our home state, while developing a national center of excellence on AI policy.”

Designed by Australia’s Ridgeline Tiny Homes, the Sun Valley model showcases that sometimes less is truly more. The tiny home features a simple and light-filled layout, making the best use of available space. The home serves well as a vacation home, or a second home. The Sun Valley tiny home features a sloping roof, and a sleek black exterior. It is founded on a triple-axle trailer with a length of 23.7 feet. The home has a metal finish, and is amped with loads of glazing, which allows it to be pretty light-filled.
Designer: Ridgeline Tiny Homes
The Sun Valley tiny home can be entered via glass double doors, and the interior occupies around 15.4 sq m. The entire house is arranged on one floor, and there isn’t any loft, which helps the home feel more light-filled and airy. The entrance leads to the living room which is quite small and simple. The living room includes a sofa, and integrated storage. The kitchen is closely located, and it includes a sink, a two-burner propane-powered stove, plus a small fridge and some cabinetry.
The kitchen is connected to the bedroom. As you enter the bedroom, you are welcomed by a double bed with built-in storage and generous glazing. Since the bedroom is located on the ground floor, there is plenty of headroom to stand straight, unlike typical loft-style bedrooms where residents need to bend and reach their beds.
Like other tiny homes, the Sun Valley has a lot of customization options available, such as the color of the home, the cladding, and the cabinetry. We are unaware of the price of the home, or on the availability of it. The Sun Valley home proves how you can actually do a lot with less, and represents the smart utilization of limited space. The layout of the home is simple but clever, with all the essential amenities integrated. If you’re looking for a compact and well-planned tiny home, then the Sun Valley house is the one for you.
