How deep is your love for Helvetica? If you're one of those people who live and die for your favorite typeface, you may want to check out these eyeglasses from Type. The Japanese company has created two frames, a "Garamond" and "Helvetica," each with design cues taken from the letters of their corresponding typefaces. The glasses are also available in three weights (bold, regular, and light) and your choice of tortoise, black, or clear construction.

The glasses are not cheap at ¥24,150 ($3,991), so the true fans will be separated from the posers. We actually think the idea and designs are really cool, but the price is pretty ridiculous. If you don't mind the fee, head over to Type to get yours while they last.
