House Industries - Neutraface:
If there's one thing I have a penchant for, it's boutique type foundries. House Industries has some interesting type designs going on. Honestly, most of them are kind of 50s lounge-inspired designs, but they have a few pure and simple ones. Neutraface, pictured above, is particularly pleasing, and Paperback is also a very useful book typeface. Also check out Grain Edit's review of Neutraface:
House Industries is not your typical type foundry. Unlike most foundries that strictly focus on type design, House take things one step further. Their fonts become springboards to new ideas and products that are often integrated into themed experiences complete with lush packaging and slick catalogs. A great example of this is their work on the 2004 release of Neutraface. They created a reproduction of Richard Neutra’s Boomerang chair and pillows to coincide with the release of the font collection. In addition, they created limited edition packaging (with die cuts and metallic inks) to accompany the hard copy of the fonts. In an age when people more and more seek cheap and immediate goods, I cherish these premium experiences.
