NEUTRA HOUSE NUMBERS | Honoring an Architectural Icon

When you love clean, modern design it applies to every part of your life, including typography. Neutra, a very popular typeface from the 1930s, was specified by the famous mid-century architect Richard Neutra for his projects and is still favored, especially in metal, by many architects of new contemporary homes. 

Designed by Christian Schwartz for House Industries, the typeface family Neutraface "the most typographically complete geometric sans serif family ever", was based on Richard Neutra's architecture and design principles. Richard Neutra — One of the most influential architects of the twentieth century helped define modernism in Southern California and around the world.  His notable projects include the Kaufmann House (1947) in Palm Springs, the Lovell Health House (1929) in Los Angeles and the Kronish House (1955) in Beverly Hills, among others. 

The Neutra collection is open and unobtrusive....offering functionality and timeless California aesthetic. You don’t need to own a Neutra home in order to enjoy a piece of Neutra history.
