House Numbers

Neutra House NumbersAs my husband and I continue our (seemingly never-ending) house renovation, there are a few really fun decisions to make — as opposed to the current sometimes mind numbing task of painting all the outside window trim. The most recent fun one was selecting house numbers — it was obvious where to put them, but what font to use? I knew I wanted a sans serif font, and quickly found Neutra. I especially like how these sit away from the house. I guess I’m still a California girl or just addicted to mid-century style, as the font was designed by architect Richard Neutra, who “in California, … became celebrated for rigorously geometric but airy structures that symbolized a West Coast variation on the mid-century modern residence.” (You can see the entire font here.)
