Spiekermann House Numbers
I just returned from Berlin where we met with all the regional FontShops and the founder himÂself, Erik SpiekÂerÂmann. The first item of busiÂness: Erik showed off his latest project for modern furÂnishÂing supÂplier Design Within Reach. The SpiekÂerÂmann House NumÂbers are availÂable in four disÂtinct styles — ConÂtemÂpoÂrary (based on FF Meta®), Tech, ClasÂsic (from the CenÂtury traÂdiÂtion), and IndusÂtrial (a stenÂcil) — each come in varÂiÂous mateÂriÂals and colors. Erik overÂsaw the comÂplete design and manÂuÂfacÂturÂing process, all the way down to the instalÂlaÂtion guides, so not only will you have the slickÂest address on the block, but you can be sure these pretty little pieces of hardÂware are easy to apply.

Very cool. One sugÂgesÂtion: these would look even better with flat-​head, stainless-​steel, hex screws (that would also make the numÂbers less easy to steal).
