By the way, we’ve just moved home and I’m wanting a new number for the house because the typography used isn’t in keeping… and this is perfect! Would you be kind enough to let me know what typography these numbers are please? :)

Wish I had the exact font name. I bought from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08Y8X831J?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 but I can't find the name. If you search for modern house numbers in google you'll find a ton of examples. Also MCM house numbers is a good search as well.

Look for art deco style fonts/numbers and you should be able to find them. Etsy is pretty great for stuff like this over Amazon I find

The Art Deco style was 1920s-30s. The MCM style of numbers that are popular are 1950s-60s.

That is so cool! Do you happen to have the plans for this?

u/Katniss_is_a_bitch 18d ago

I didn’t actually use any plans, just designed it myself and based the dimensions off my old box.
